Biography

I am the Vice President for Enterprise Support and Executive Director for the Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) at The Ohio State University. I lead the vision of Stronger Together for providing world class IT support and championing community building by aligning technology resources and innovations to advance and enable higher education's academic missions.

Previously, I was Deputy CIO and Executive Director of Research Computing, overseeing enterprise-wide technology services and leading the Teaching, Research, and Infrastructure Technology Services team. In that capacity, I oversaw enterprise-wide technology services, including infrastructure, architecture and end user support, solution engineering, classroom technologies, unified communications, network services, and cloud solutions.

I was the Chief Information Officer of the College of Engineering and Knowlton School of Architecture at The Ohio State University. My responsibilities included developing and implementing the strategy for investing in technology innovations that enable and support the research, teaching and learning, and outreach missions of the college. I served as Interim Deputy CIO for OCIO.

I have over 30 years in higher education at two Big Ten, Research One, land-grant universities. While at Penn State, I led the business building project, the largest academic building on campus and third biggest classroom building on campus. The project was completed under budget and one-month earlier than planned timeline. In addition, I led the University's implementation of Office 365, reducing 80 plus email solutions into one cloud platform with integrated applications. Eighty percent of the users at Penn State, including students were migrated within five months.

I am joint owner of the Weaver Family Farm, a large, family-owned, dairy operation where I direct the capital investments and oversee the fiscal management. I currently am a Board member (Vice-Chair) for the USDA Farm Service Agency for Clinton/Centre Counties and the Centre County Conservation District Board of Directors.

My passion is to identify and implement innovative initiatives that have a substantial impact on the academic missions of higher education and to the students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners who we serve.
