EDUCATION
Ed.D, Educational Leadership – University of Phoenix, 2007
MA Ed, E-Education, – University of Phoenix, 2003
EXPERIENCE
May 2005 - Present – Vangent Inc., Senior Instructional Designer
Specific projects with associated tasks and responsibilities include:
Aerospace Industry - Lead Instructional Designer for the development of a blended Systems
Engineering Leadership Program with the primary affective objective of communicating the value
Systems Engineering brings to a project, program, and the organization. A crucial challenge to
achieving this objective was to modify the efficiency and order mindset of the engineer learner audience
from a narrow engineering focus, to an orientation of adaptability and openness within a larger system
with a wide variety of stake holders. This challenge was met with a blended solution which included
both synchronous and asynchronous instructor-led training (ILT), asynchronous WBT, team-based
computer simulations, OJT activities, and long-term program evaluation strategies. This program was
awarded the 2007 Brandon Hall Research Excellence in Learning Gold, for Best Blended Learning
Program.
Aerospace and Electronics – Lead Instructional Designer for redesign and development of the of a Life
Cycle Value Stream Management curriculum. This curriculum’s goal was to ensure that every employee
understood his or her roles and responsibilities as they relate to the company’s products and services
at each phase of the product/program life cycle and at each gate review. This blended solution included
over 5 hours of prerequisite web based training, a case study pre-read, and a 2 week facilitated course
with integrated case study activities. The curriculum explored the cross functional dependencies and
elevated awareness of how employees’ roles are interdependent. This program was awarded the 2007
Bersin Learning Leaders award for Operational Excellence.
Financial Services – Conducted a Performance & Task Analysis to create a new competency model for
a range of proficiency periods. Created a “straw man” of the model by conducing Steering Team
meetings, and then validated the model by interviewing SMEs and top performers. Also conducted an
analysis of an existing 22-week blended curriculum to identify gaps between the existing curriculum and
the competency model. Created a High-Level Curriculum Design Plan based on these data, with an
evaluation strategy that mapped directly to the competency model.
Non-Profit – Developed a 1-day seminar for volunteers who serve the public following a disaster. The
specific goal of the program was to help responders assess the needs and provide relevant service to
people with disabilities following a disaster.
PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS
BSOE, Technical Management, Wayland Baptist University, 1987




August 1996 - May 2005 – General Physics Corporation, Project Manager / Instructional Design Lead
(Manager)
Specific projects with associated tasks and responsibilities include:
Process/Energy – Project Manager and lead Instructional Systems Designer for the design and
development of customer and employee facing virtual university infrastructure and learning content for a
major chemical company. The project included LMS selection and customization; development of over
30 custom WBT courses; selection and integration of third party off-the-shelf content; and localization of
selected learning content into UK English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Mandarin Chinese.
Sales and Marketing – Lead Instructional Designer of a Solution Selling curriculum for a major
computer hardware and software vendor. The project consisted of development and deployment of over
20 hours of highly interactive, non-linear WBT sales and customer service simulations. Learners were
able to interact with audio/video vignettes, and choose how they would respond to various customer
responses and objections. Each scenario had three paths with the end results being unsatisfactory,
satisfactory but not optimal, and optimal outcomes.
Telecommunications - Project Manager and lead Instructional Systems Designer of quarterly new
product release WBT curricula for a global supplier of telecommunication hardware. Each product
launch required unique curriculum paths for sales and marketing, field service, customer, and channel
partner audiences. The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) was applied to leverage
content across the curriculum, reduce development costs, and facilitate future content maintenance. A
typical quarterly release would include approximately 10 hours of custom courseware.
Higher Education – Instructional Systems Designer on a large project team that placed the entire
Masters of Information Technology and Masters of Hospitality Industry on line for a state university.
Worked closely with individual professors and academic chairs to ready all lectures and resource
materials for online asynchronous deployment, and set up virtual classroom environments.
