Although I didn’t begin my journey as an IT professional, I’ve grown to appreciate the art of problem-solving inherent in the role. Over the years, I’ve served in various capacities, from a Senior Systems Engineer to a Director of Managed IT, and eventually ventured into the sales world of IT services. This diverse experience has allowed me to witness the multifaceted nature of IT companies and observe how different organizations function.
As a proud husband and father of four in a blended family, my life has been enriched by these roles. My eight years of service in the United States Army (11B) instilled discipline and resilience. Leveraging my GI Bill, I pursued Microsoft certifications and technical degrees while working full-time in the field. My career began as a desktop engineer, and over the past 15 years, I transitioned to the private sector as an IT consultant.
My ability to communicate effectively in both “geek” and “non-geek” language facilitated my ascent up the ladder. I’ve had the privilege of leading as an IT Director, delving into Solutions Architecture, and now venturing into Sales Engineering.
Recognizing that the IT industry is evolving, I’m committed to offering a fresh approach to learning and growing together as a community.
