My career began at Florida State University, where I worked with a small group of technologists to introduce smart cards to the U.S. education sector, focusing on higher education. I led implementation teams deploying campus card technology with a concentration on ID management, access control, and food service. After my time at Florida State, I spent a few years with Diebold and approximately 16 years with Blackboard. Serving in these roles gave me a broad understanding of campuses, daily operations, and key security components/controls. I currently sit on the Video & Vision sub-committee for the Security Industry Association.
