About Me

I've always been obsessed with understanding how things work. Technology in particular fascinates me. This single trait more than any other has defined who am I and why I made the career choices that I did.

In college I realized that my true talent and calling sat at the intersection of deep technical knowledge and people leadership. From that point forward, I've sought positions and opportunities that provided the ideal blend of the two.

I love leading and working with others. I'm a quick study. I thrive in ambiguity. I execute well.
