Practitioner-scholar — entrepreneurship, project management, applied AI.
DBA candidate at Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business studying how AI-personalized feedback changes habit formation. Twenty years of portfolio-scale technical program management — General Motors, Ford, Amazon, State of Michigan — turned on a question those disciplines rarely ask: whether the methods that deliver a $2M enterprise program also work on one person’s behavior. I built the platform that tests it, wrote the protocol that governs it, and am running the experiment on it.
Health and fitness practitioners do not do project management. Project managers are not known for being healthy and fit. My work sits in that intersection, with a delivery record on one side and a doctorate in progress on the other.

MS in Techpreneurship — ENTP 500: Entrepreneurship and Innovation (graduate), hybrid: weekly online sessions plus in-person Executive Sessions on the Harrisburg and Philadelphia campuses. Designed the course around a seven-dimension Startup Scorecard — market, value proposition, business model, team, growth, risk and capital strategy, each scored 1–5 on evidence. Students score a case company, revise on peer review, then apply the same instrument to their own venture. The course culminates in group pitches reviewed by HU’s Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Joined on a week’s notice to teach the first Executive Session of Fall 2025.
GPMT 287: Principles of Project Management (undergraduate). NETW 101: PC Operating Systems (CompTIA-aligned), taught to advanced high-school students as generative AI reached the classroom — rebuilt mid-course around AI-assisted red-team/blue-team demonstrations, so students saw the security principles work instead of memorizing them for the exam.
