Cmdr. Raymond T. Schenk, US Navy (ret), Ph.D.
Cmdr. Schenk is used to having his name spelled wrong. It usually ends up as Shenk, Schnek, Schlock, Shink, or worse. His call sign in the fleet was Scooby, because it is much easier to spell. //Hint: Make sure you comment it correctly in your code.
He spent 21 years as a Navy pilot and Landing Signals Officer. He has flown over 11 different aircraft and has over 7 months of his life at the controls of aircraft. He was part of every major combat operation from the First Gulf War to the Global War on Terrorism. He has over 400 carrier landings both day and night.
He founded a software company that built security software for Department of Defense use and is the inventor of a data-centric security paradigm that can protect data across its entire life-cycle.
Trading in 23 hour days for 22 1/2 hour days, he decided that it would be cool to hang out in a lab and play on computers with really smart kids. So here he is. He will fill your head with everything from binary math to computational thinking. He sneaks in some design thinking along the way, and if you are not careful, you will soon have multiple definitions for the word Java.
