Why teach at AU?

The small-size lecture and hands-on approach within a Christian framework makes for a great teaching and learning environment.

I am a 20-year Air Force veteran.

What do you find most enjoyable about working at Anderson University?

I love the small, private-school environment. Anderson is a great institution at which to build the habit of life-long learning and Christian growth.

What I wish prospectives students knew about my discipline or careers in my discipline.

Cybersecurity is a fun and dynamic discipline and never boring. There is so much to learn, and the threats are always changing.

How would you describe your classes to someone who has never attended one?

I take an applied approach to cybersecurity by incorporating as many tools and exercises as reasonably possible.
