James R. Morey

Co-Founder and CTO of Customer Strategy Academy, Online Course Creator, Technology Consultant, Entrepreneur -- Jim Morey is a multiple #1 Bestselling author, top-rated Udemy Course Creator on MailChimp, nationally-recognized Book Writing and Publishing Coach, and Co-Creator of the "Your 21st Century Business Card" system.

Jim has been at Microsoft for over 17 years, working in groups like IIS, Operations Manager, Windows Server, and SharePoint. He has an obsession with learning technical things and sharing them with whomever will listen. Jim was awarded a patent with Microsoft.

Soon, after joining Microsoft, Jim began to learn C++ and when Visual Studio.NET came out (remember that?) Jim started a long-term romance with C# that, to this day, is still going strong after almost 100,000 lines of code. A few years ago James started another romance with Windows PowerShell when it was fist incorporated into SharePoint 2010, replacing the stsadm.exe command line tool.

Before Microsoft, he was helping to save humanity in a molecular biology lab at the University of Washington's School of Pathobiology. And before that saving salmon at a virology lab at the Department of Fisheries in the National Biological Services in Seattle.

Jim has been a long-term computer devotee, owning an Atari, Trash-80, Vic 20 (for about a week, when the Commodore 64 came out), a Commodore 64, an old IMB PC, and a few Macs thrown in here and there. In high school he was part of an advanced computer programming class for exceptional students. He came up with the (at that time) laughable idea of having pieces of code that acted like "objects" in that they had certain properties and could take certain actions. He was also dubbed the "GoSub Kid" by his fellow class mates for his predilection to creating pieces of code that performed specific tasks and referring to them by using the GoSub statement. Thus, Jim, "forced" the then linear Basic to become a "structured" language.

These days, apart from working at Microsoft, Jim loves to be at home with his beautiful wife, Jackie, and their two adorable children, Michael and Alyssa.
