The through line
Curiosity became a career.
Teaching made it matter.
It started in 1997 with a late night, an unfamiliar system, and a built-in help manual.
That moment—discovering that the answer might be available if you were willing to look, test, and ask better questions—became the foundation of my work as a technologist and educator.
The first question
Began in market-research data entry, then taught himself Visual FoxPro, DBASE, SQL, and object-oriented programming by following curiosity into the system behind the work.
B.S. in Management Information Systems
Earned at the University at Albany, SUNY while building a career in technology.
MBA in MIS, with honors
Completed an MBA at the University at Albany, connecting technical depth with organizational leadership.
The classroom opens
Began a second career as an adjunct professor—translating professional practice into learning students could use.
Doctorate in Computer Science
Completed a doctorate with a specialization in Big Data Analytics at Colorado Technical University.
Building what comes next
Teaching, designing courses, mentoring, researching, and pursuing opportunities to contribute more broadly in higher education.
Teaching portfolio
Where theory meets
the work.
My courses are built to move students from “I understand the concept” to “I can make a sound decision with it.”

“The best education doesn’t just transfer knowledge. It changes what someone believes they can do next.”
— Dr. Todd Wolfe
Teaching philosophy
High standards.
Human delivery.
Technology changes quickly. The habits that make someone capable—curiosity, judgment, communication, and persistence—last much longer.
Experience belongs in the classroom
Concepts become durable when learners can connect them to the constraints, tradeoffs, and consequences of real work.
Questions are a professional skill
Knowing how to frame a useful question is central to research, technical problem-solving, and lifelong learning.
Rigor and access can coexist
High standards work best when expectations are clear, feedback is useful, and learners have a path forward.
Beyond the classroom
Bring me the problem
you’re trying to solve.
For institutions, teams, and individuals who need an educator’s structure and a practitioner’s eye.
Custom research
Focused research briefs, literature synthesis, applied analysis, and technical subject-matter support.
