About the Instructor

Before you tell me all about you, let me introduce myself. My name is Christopher Johnson, and by day I am an IT Manager at the University of North Texas. I have been working directly in the IT industry for a little over 5 years. Prior to that, I worked very extensively with computing and digital printing technology as a graphic designer. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Applied Technology and Performance Improvement from UNT in 2012 with a minor in Computer Science. I completed my Masters Degree in Information Technology and Decision Science (ITDS) from UNT in December 2015. When I'm not working or teaching, I enjoy running and reading (novels, biographies, comic books, newspapers, etc). You may find this interesting -- I don't particularly care for either Star Wars or Star Trek (there, I said it!), making me somewhat unique in the industry. My favorite book is Dune by Frank Herbert, and my favorite comic book hero is Superman.

I'm really looking forward to working with you this semester. I hope that you learn a great deal about computers, and that this knowledge will help you not only in furthering your academic pursuits, but also professionally as you go out into the world to become IT guys and gals.
