ABOUT

Started working in IT in 1999 as a support desk analyst as a way to help pay for food during college. Studied Electrical Engineering for two years before realizing biochemistry was more fun than differential equations, and so ultimately graduated with a Biology degree in 2006. Having (reluctantly) failed at getting accepted into dental school, embraced working in IT and has gone broke becoming an ITIL Expert. Likes to jog, sing camp songs, quote Mel Brooks movie lines, make dumb jokes, and spend way too many hours into the late night playing Call of Duty to relive his immature teenage years.

Mobile devices,...

Whipping ITSM into BDSM

Why do I keep reading such statements as “get rid of IT from ITSM?” Is it that Service Management simply needs to get out of the IT world? I can get that—we want to try and project the belief that IT has been growing its involvement with the business. In fact, there are the ongoing...
