Hi, welcome to my space on the WikiKB. I'm a Client Support Engineer at Blackboard and a frequent editor of the [Academic Suite Knowledgebase]. I'm currently located in Blackboard's Sydney, Australia office.
Background
I have used Blackboard since 2000, when I began administering CourseInfo 4.0 for the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. In April 2001 I became the Bb administrator for Durham Technical Community College, also in North Carolina, and used Bb versions 5.0.2 through 6.2. In November 2004 I began working for Blackboard in Washington DC, USA, as a Technical Support Manager and Client Support Engineer, and I moved to Australia in late 2006.
Experience/Interests
Linux, Oracle, shell scripting, other geeky stuff related to Blackboard. I am a former Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) but that just expired. I am also A+ certified and have an associate's degree in electronics.
I am originally from North Carolina, USA (GO Duke!) and am a big train fanatic (railfan). Email me if you want a link to my train picture collection.
