Michael G. Moore Biography

Last semester I had the Background, Issues, and Trends of IT course in my program at Wayne State University. I was to write a biographical paper detailing the work of a leader in our field. I choose Michael G. Moore. Moore and I were in contact several time and collaborated on a finished piece that he wanted published on his WikiEducator page. It's not much, but I was truly honored, so I thought I would share my writing with you. :)
