I began my technical, managerial, and academic career in Computer Science and Information Technology in 1987 by joining CSU Fullerton after graduating from the St. Mary’s University of San Antonio, TX with a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and Master of Science in Computer Information Systems. I later joined British Petroleum (Defense and Aerospace subsidiary), where I worked for 9 years as a Senior Information Systems Specialist. I spent another 5 years with Bank of the West (formerly Sanwa Bank) in the following positions: Senior Open Systems Team Lead, Emerging Technology Support Engineer, and Enterprise Information Security Manager.
