Instructor's Courses

I have been programming since I was 8 years old. That was 1986 and computers were very different. All of the effort I spent trying to make things work properly back then has turned out to be very helpful, though. I have been pushing the boundaries of what can be done with technology ever since. I've co-founded several technology startups, managed software products with over $100 million in annual revenue, and received my MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I continually learn about new technologies (or old stuff that I didn't understand before) and I love to help others understand technology in a deep, meaningful way.
