Welcome to the website!

It's getting close to a year since I joined the administration of the Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences on June 1, 2007 as the Assistant VP of Academic Administration for Educational Technology and Distance Learning. The past few months living in Orlando has been a fabulous experience. Enjoying the balmy weather, green surroundings, and beaches and Disney, we certainly have had our best winter season ever since we came to this country 20 years ago. So far, I'm having a blast at work. Although it usually takes a few years to have sustainable results, I have seen significant signs of a positive cultural change toward the use of technology in teaching on campus and distance. I'm hoping that iPhone will support Adboe Flash soon as I'm eager to get back to game development for mobile devices. It will take a while as Adobe and Apple are two very "face" conscious entities. Check back and stay tune for my next update. Have a wonderful Spring!!
