Who Am I?

I hold a staff position of Systems Manager at The Ohio State University. My primary responsibilities are the oversight of the network, administrative and research computing for the departments of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE) and Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). I also assist with the management of the academic computer lab which serves these departments, the CBE/MSE Joint Academic Computing Facility (ECR6). My résumé can be found here.

If you are a local user and you need my assistance, my office is in 197 Watts and my office phone number is (614) 292-6928. Support requests from local users that are phoned in will only be returned by phone if the number is local to Columbus, OH (and, ideally, an OSU campus phone number). is by far the best (and preferred) way to contact me.

Open Office Hours
Mon, Tue, Thu: 1:00PM-3:00PM
Wed, Fri: 2:00PM-4:00PM
Other times by appointment
I am generally "out and about" in support of end-users, so the above are the best times to find me in or near my office.
Any anticipated deviations from the above schedule will be posted here whenever possible.

If you need to contact me after-hours (in cases of emergency ONLY), you can call me at home at (614) 299-9642.

Who says numbers mean everything?

DOS Computers manufactured by companies such as IBM, Compaq, Tandy,
and millions of others are by far the most popular, with about 70 million
machines in use worldwide. Macintosh fans, on the other hand, may note
that cockroaches are far more numerous than humans, and that numbers
alone do not denote a higher life form.
