About Me

JimI am an Associate Professor of Information Assurance and Cyber Defense in the College of Business at Northern Michigan University. I earned my PhD in Management Information Systems in the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona. At the University of Arizona I worked in the Center for the Management of Information (CMI) directed by Dr. Jay F. Nunamaker, Jr. and Dr. Judee K. Burgoon. CMI is a world leader in collaboration processes and technologies. CMI uses theory, experimentation, and field tests to create innovative solutions for real-world problems.

I consider myself a "positive" information systems researcher. Relatively recently, the branch of positive psychology emerged with the goal of understanding and developing interventions to improve individuals, families, and communities. Along a similar vein, I am interested in finding ways to help people use technology to improve their lives, families, or other organizations.

I have taught courses on networking, systems analysis and design, management information systems, and network defense.
