An experienced information technology executive, I am currently Associate Director in the Office of Information Technology at a major medical school. As an adjunct professor at Fordham University, I have taught courses in communication theory, mass media and society and media industries. I have a Ph.D. in Media Ecology (Communication Theory and Media Studies) and a Finance MBA, both from New York University. I discuss my media ecological musings and speculations on my blog, A Model Media Ecologist. Follow my original Twitter-published comic murder mystery at RKBs_Twitstery.
