Things like Cloud, Information Security /Information Assurance, Networking, Enterprise Systems Integration, and the Bachelor’s degree Capstone course. He has been published in leading academic journals and has presented at academic and trade conferences. He shamelessly hawks his photographic prints at johnvail.net.
