A maverick in the IT industry for over 36 years. A firm believer that the business value proposition is critical and has not been examined in new lights or seriously enough. A confirmed bigot that R&D doesn’t get the proper attention. A former CTO of a Fortune 500 company, and have enjoyed diverse career as hatchet man for a startup, a “semi-reformed” programmer, writer, teacher, coach, father, husband - oh, and politically impossible to define with the current rules (and working to redefine them)
