David T. Bourgeois

Dr. Bourgeois graduated from Biola with a degree in Mathematics in 1987. For the next 15 years, he worked in the Information Systems field for four different companies, including two Fortune 500 companies, experiencing many different roles within the Information Systems field: systems analyst, programmer, project leader, trainer, consultant, and helpdesk support analyst.

Dave completed his Ph.D. in Information Systems and Technology in 2006 at Claremont Graduate University. Dave joined the Crowell School of Business faculty as an adjunct in 2002 and full time in 2003. He redesigned the requirements for the Information Systems emphasis in 2004 and works to keep the curriculum relevant. He continues to stay active in the business world, doing consulting in the area of systems design. Dave married his Biola sweetheart, Marne, in 1991. They have six children and live near Biola in the city of Brea.

My research interests are in the area of faith, technology, and the ability for the two to be combined to reach the world for Christ.
