Like any good story, my career has moved through chapters of creativity, challenge, discipline, and discovery — from technology and entrepreneurship to military service, leadership, and music. These experiences taught me how to operate at the intersection of creativity and technical rigor.

I’ve worked as a Solution Engineer, Architect, DevOps and IT Leader, Military Technologist, and Music Entrepreneur. Across these paths, a consistent theme emerged: I love turning ideas — technical, business, or creative — into something real that moves people or moves a business forward.

Today, I help teams and Fortune 500 organizations solve complex problems through:

> Cloud and platform engineering

> DevOps and automation

> IT leadership and governance

> Integration architecture and digital transformation

> Creative problem solving rooted in design thinking and human understanding

My formal training includes an Executive Management Certificate in Innovation & Strategy from MIT Sloan, the CGEIT certification, amongst many others, but most of what I value comes from collaborating with brilliant people who challenge me to think differently.

Ultimately, my work is about understanding people — not just systems. Helping someone unlock the next chapter of their idea, product, or business is what drives me. Which is exactly what I am currently helping my customers in ISVs, M&E, and AAA Game Development accomplish at NetApp.
