Mr. Morris is the president and founder of Pioneer Knowledge Services (PKS), a non-profit organization with a charitable purpose. PKS involves clients in customizing knowledge solutions and training to cultivate an organizational disposition and culture that values knowledge as a sustainable asset.
He is also an adjunct instructor for Kent State University's Information Architecture and Knowledge Management graduate program, from which he earned his M.S. in 2012.

He earned the Thomas J. Froehlich Award from Kent State in 2013 recognizing academic excellence and promise for leadership in the field of information architecture and knowledge management.
A disabled veteran, Morris was deployed to Iraq twice — as a sergeant in 2004 and then as a second lieutenant in 2005. In the years thereafter, he served as a contracted trainer, doctrine writer, lessons learned knowledge leader, and knowledge management lead for various government contractors serving Fort Huachuca in Sierra Vista, AZ.
Morris earned his B.A. in Speech Communications while serving on the student government, in Pennsylvania's Army National guard, and while working as a morning radio show host on WFSE-FM, Edinboro University's student-run radio station.
