Having worked for over 30 years in Information Services, both as a manager and software development, I joined the computer engineering department at Jackson State University. During my tenure at JSU I have conducted research for the US Army's Space and Missile Defense Command, Huntsville, Alabama, the US Department of Homeland Security, and the US Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, Mississippi.

For approximately 16 years, I served as the Vice President for Information Systems, Mississippi Valley Title Insurance Company in Jackson, Mississippi.  During that time I was responsible for both operations and development of new systems that resulted in substantial enhancements in operations and cost savings.

For 12 years I taught computer engineering and computer science at Jackson State University, while conducting research on data fusion, cybersecurity, and software engineering. During that time I worked on projects for NASA, the Department of Homeland Security, US Army Space and Missile Defense, and the US Army Corps of Engineers (ERDC).

In 2017 I retired from JSU and began my own company where the focus is on cybersecurity, risk assessment, security control, and vulnerability identification.
