This article is part of a series introducing the 2017-2020 SIGUCCS Executive Committee and our appointed positions. Each Committee member submitted answers to questions created by the SIGUCCS Marketing Committee.

How did you get involved in SIGUCCS?
My good friend Laurie I implemented a new ticketing system at our College in 2005. A colleague recommended SIGUCCS to us and we decided to submit a paper on our project. We were delighted to be accepted, and I was off to make my first professional presentation at SIGUCCS 2006 in Edmonton.

Who in SIGUCCS inspires you?
Allan Chen has always impressed me. His encouragement to be more involved and how he made juggling so many responsibilities look easy has helped me see that I could do it too. Well, I hope I can anyway, there are some big shoes to fill!

What accomplishments are you especially proud of?
Implementing configuration management (puppet) at my work was a very large undertaking that I am proud of. It has not only made my work more enjoyable and easier, it has helped my entire team to collaborate and provide better support to our institution.

You could always stop and talk to me about…
Games, I love games, from growing up playing D&D with my friends, to the many different board games I play every week at my weekly game night and with the student gaming club I am advisor for.

What are you looking forward to at the SIGUCCS 2018 Conference?
I am looking forward to everything, but especially the opportunity to meet and learn from other people that do what I do.

How do you take your coffee?
Dark and plain.
