I recently joined the City of San Bernardino as IT Director. I had been in Educational Technology Management for 23 years prior with a Master in Public Administration and a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems. I began my educational career as a computer technician and worked my way up to Director and Chief Technology Officer (CTO). In 2008, I received a Chief Technology Officer Certification from the California IT IN Education (CITE), served as a Mentor and on the CITE Board as a Director at Large. In 2014, I received a Career and Technical Education Certificate in Information and Communication Technologies in addition to participating in the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA) Innovative Technology Academy.
