Tim began his IT career as an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, and among his early tours, he was the Information Resources Manager (what is today a CIO) at the Coast Guard's training center in Yorktown, VA. This was during the early days of personal computers and the automation and networking of many management, financial and training activities led to a tremendous number of interesting challenges.
Dr. Henry then switched over to education and taught mathematics and computer science courses at the U. S. Coast Guard Academy. As his time there ended, he was offered a great opportunity to work with 'bleeding-edge' technology in a research and development environment. These projects involved cellular phones, GPS and touch screen technologies as components of larger integrated systems at a time when those technologies were just coming into the market place. He oversaw projects for law enforcement, first responders, healthcare, and education. For the next decade he continued to work as a project manager on large corporate- or state-wide information systems. During that time, he obtained his Project Management Professional (PMP) certification.
He then returned to a university setting where he has been teaching in a broad array of computer science and information technology fields for over 15 years. He now serves as IT Graduate Director at the New England Institute of Technology. While at NEIT, Dr. Henry has developed and taught courses in a number of areas including programming, software engineering, databases, game development, operating systems, digital forensics, cybersecurity, ethics and project management. In addition to co-authoring A Gift of Fire: Social, Legal and Ethical Issues for Computing Technology with Sara Baase, which won the 2018 Excellence Award from the TAA, he has co-authored two data structure textbooks with Frank Carrano, Data Structures and Abstractions with Java and Data Abstractions and Problem Solving in C++: Walls & Mirrors which won the 2018 McGuffey Longevity Award from the TAA.
