From Architecture to Business

Prior to 2002 I was enrolled in Northwestern Michigan College's Associates of Applied Science degree as part of the University of Michigan's Architectural Transfer Program. During this period I completed the Humanities, Social Sciences, Mathematics, and Communications requirements for an associate's degree.
Beginning in 2002 I shifted to Business Administration and Business Information Systems programs of study that I would major in at Ferris State. My goals were to enhance entrepreneurial skills to develop, manage and analyze my business ideas. Combining these programs would allow me to 1) bridge the psychological and technical gaps that cause uncertainty, conflict and project risk and 2) make the business requirement elucidation more effective.

Looking Beyond IS

In addition to NMC's Science and Arts degree I've studied a variety of business related majors and have completed or nearly completed AAS programs in Business, Entrepreneurship, Management, Marketing, Application Development, Support, and Web Development.
Ferris State major studies were in analysis, programming, process management, and information system development with a strong emphasis in project management. In addition Ferris State recognizes 3 years of additional Business and IT studies beyond those required to obtain a bachelors degree.

Setting Aside the Graduation Robes

Since leaving the university I've studies course material from Stanford's and Yale's Computer Science curricula and have continued to study entrepreneurership, business administration and management, web applications, content management systems and object oriented databases.
