Why did you choose to work at Ohio State?
Well, I was born at OSU Hospital, so it seemed like a nice fit.
What do you like about your job?
Every quarter I get new and interesting students and every year the students get better and better.
How do you apply the ‘One University’ concept? I currently teach for four units. I also worked 10 years as a tutor/mentor for the Athletic Department. One quarter I was a TA for a math class. I pretty much personally embody the One University concept.
Who is your hero? Malcolm X. He empowered himself through education and encouraged others to do the same.
What is your favorite activity outside of work? Every morning I collect the eggs from my chickens and every morning I am amazed at that little miracle of the natural world. I am torn between Googling how they do that and letting it remain a mystery.
If you weren’t working at Ohio State, what would you rather be doing? If I weren’t working at Ohio State, I would be wishing I worked at Ohio State.
What are you going to do when you retire?
Retire?
Ohio will soon see a 10-fold boost to its broadband network speeds, which will benefit research and job-creating assets statewide. Gov. John Kasich made the announcement at his State of the State address in Steubenville Feb. 7, highlighting the first ever state-led initiative that will leverage network speeds of 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps) to serve Ohio’s medical research, higher education, manufacturing, engineering and technology networking corridors.
Under a recently approved agreement with Cisco and Juniper, Ohio will invest approximately $10 million to harness new innovative technology that will, in essence, “open the faucet” of Ohio’s current broadband infrastructure, over 1,800 miles of fiber, from its current 10 Gbps capacity to 100 Gbps.
This expansion leverages the fiber optic network operated by OARnet, a member of the Ohio Board of Regents Ohio Technology Consortium located at Ohio State. The 100 Gbps network will connect Ohio’s major metropolitan areas to northern and southern connection points of Internet2, a nationwide advanced networking consortium led by the research and education community, spanning US and international institutions that are leaders in the worlds of research, academia, industry and government.
For the network, $8.1 million will fund hardware development for Phase 1, which will connect Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton and Toledo by June 2012 and Phase 2 markets of Akron, Athens and Youngstown by October 2012.
Ohio public and private partners also will invest $2.3 million in a state-of-the-art innovation center to be located at OSU that will enable and test 100 Gbps technologies and promote the development of compelling broadband, software and advanced technology applications. The center will operate in research collaboration with Internet2, NSF-Future Internet Infrastructure (GENI), UC-Berkeley and other national laboratories.
A full moon in a pristine sky hangs over the Recreation and Physical Activity Center as a recent evening turns to dusk.
