touchscreen kiosks driven by a central server, designed to provide on-demand, interactive
digital information services to guest customers at hotels, hospitals and related retail
locations.

business development, strategic planning, and sales. He also served as EDS's Director, Global
Logistics, Tech-Products Division.
He received a BS in Engineering and Pre-Law from the US Air Force Academy and a MA in
International Relations and Communications Theory from Frei Universitat, Berlin, Germany. He is
a former speaker for the US Distance Learning Association and former member, Board of Advisors,
at the Institute for Telecommunications, Oklahoma State University. He is also a decorated
