Why Me?

20+ YEARS OF HANDS ON EXPERIENCE

Get results faster. Leveraging my broad range of experiences, from pulling cable on a data center floor, to leading large organizations through massive changes I am able to provide solutions and work with the team to make decisions quickly. While success is always the focus, I've been successful in getting the team comfortable with starting somewhere and creating a minimal viable product to be able to iterate to the final solution.

PASSION IS CONTAGIOUS

Get everyone excited about the mission. My passion for solving problems tied with my program management & strategy experience enables me to break down and solve problems and build the consensus with the team to achieve the desired outcomes.

MISSION IS THE REASON

My personal mission is to do things that make me happy and still have time for myself and my family. And that means working with companies that share my values and doing work that I find meaningful. That looks like helping companies do better, often times with less. Through my work for them which might be very technical and strategic I also want to help them find joy and purpose in their work, because when you're doing that your so much more productive. When I take on your project, you know I'm in it because I care.
