After graduating from Pepperdine University
with a Bachelors degree in Computer Science, I started work at
Novell, Inc. I now work on enterprise-class software used by
millions of people every day. I came to Pepperdine knowing little
about computers, and left with the skills and knowledge necessary to
succeed in a highly competitive, exciting and quick changing
industry. Pepperdine provided me a unique educational environment
combining faith in Christ, personable and accomplished faculty, and
a wonderful location!

I work on the development team (six total)
that develops Wayport’s core product. I do everything from perl
scripts, to C-style system programming, to distributed systems (we
have –lots- of those). I have really been blessed to get such a
great job that enables me to work on so many different styles of
projects and I’m always thankful for the excellent preparation you
and the other teachers provided!

Coming from a less than perfect public
school in NY, I had no technical computer training arriving at
Pepperdine. However, both in graduate school and in my work with
IBM, I always felt that I had an advantage. Not only did I have the
technical training, but I also knew how to communicate. Building
relationships in a technical environment is critical to all
engineers' and computer scientists' success. Pepperdine was the place that I
developed this advantage. It was where I matured as a technologist
and as an individual. I highly recommend Pepperdine for those who
want to challenge themselves as Computer Scientists while developing
their interpersonal skills for today's work environment.
