I believe wikis are changing the way society thinks about information in a profound way.

I have a Bachelors of Physics from the United States Naval Academy, and am pursuing a Masters of Organizational Change from Hawaii Pacific University.

I lead a state energy agency.

I was previously a Principal with an international technology and strategy consulting firm, and have a broad base of IT experience, including Linux, Unix, various versions of Windows, as well as CIO level strategy and analysis for large public sector enterprises.
