About me
If you look at my resume, you’ll see two stories. One is a list of job titles that shows a history of showing up, working hard, and serving others.
The other story is the one that defines me: a roughly 20-year obsession with building, breaking, fixing, and improving computer-based systems.
For a significant stretch of time, my primary work was largely invisible. I stepped away from a more obvious trajectory in media and sales to help care for a family member with a terminal illness, from diagnosis to end-of-life.
That experience didn’t just teach resilience — it clarified my values. In technology, words like uptime and reliability are often abstract. In real life, they carry human weight.
