Jordan Goldberg is prepared to take your questions.

Through a succession of positions beginning with helpdesk support and, most recently, as a technical supervisor for a Fortune 100 chemical company, Thomas Edison State College mentor Jordan Goldberg understands the degrees of separation for students trying to grasp the fundamentals of network technology.

His professional background consists of more than 15 years of practical industry experience in computer operations – 10 of those focused on network infrastructure.

"I began my career as a network consultant for an IBM subsidiary," said the Network Technology (CMP-354) mentor in the College's School of Applied Science and Technology. "Later, I transitioned into server administration, network engineering and eventually became a technical project leader."

Today, as a supervisor of Core IT Services, his range of authority spans data center operations, Microsoft Windows midrange servers as well as the telecommunications design and IT support for 35 buildings and multiple business units for his current employer.

"What makes the online dialogue so interesting is that students respond to the topics in the course from their various perspectives," noted Goldberg.

Goldberg earned his bachelor's degree in information systems with a minor in business administration and, subsequently, a master's degree in information systems with a certificate in competitive intelligence from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pa.

"I strongly believe the online course format provides some solid advantages and is the future in education. Thomas Edison State College is an established leader in this format and has a structured approach and defined parameters for mentors in order to maintain a quality education for its students."

Goldberg resides in Glen Mills, Pa.
