(a defense contractor) for 15 years as a software engineer and program manager. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.

He is interested in teaching marketing analytics, data analytics, and courses at the intersection of marketing and computer science.
