He shares his technical expertise as an instructor for the Austin Community College's Localization Program.

Chris's ethics and high standards demonstrate serious discipline and respect for others from his school days at the Missouri Military Academy.

Morgan joined Bridge360 in 2001 as its very first employee. As Global Advisory Engineer, he oversees many of the internationalization and localization projects for customers whose software needs a passport to enter new markets the right way – the first time.

He has been involved in testing for a wide variety of software products, technical management of large-scale translation projects, internationalization development consulting and test automation development. He is fluent in Japanese, and brings a unique perspective on the technical challenges involved in Bridge360's international software projects. Prior to joining Bridge360, Morgan worked on internationalization projects at BMC Software.

Morgan holds a BS in Computer Science with Distinction from the University of Kansas as well as a BA in Mathematics and in Japanese. He also holds a MSE in Software Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin, and received academic honors from his studies at Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan.

Morgan is always patient and a good listener, making him the perfect customer advocate. Perhaps there is a bit of the traditional Japanese aesthetic in him – nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect; there is always room for improvement. He is always trying to find a better way to do things or develop a work-around for an impossible user requirement, and he most often succeeds.
