I have been fortunate to ride several waves of an ever-evolving tech landscape. Starting in the semiconductor sector, then expanding into electro-optics, and now tackling the challenges of cybersecurity, pursuing and succeeding in high-growth industries has always been a key part of my journey. As a professor once wisely said, “You never know where you’ll be in 5-10 years in tech. Embrace the change!” My experience creating and launching novel products and services has led to sales and marketing campaigns that have gained international acclaim. Much of this success stems from incredible managers and mentors who helped shape the path. When collaboration thrives, remarkable achievements follow... and I love these successes.Driven by growth, opportunity, and meaningful relationships, often described as a "collector of people," my focus remains on long-term solutions that foster creativity and innovation. Recognizing the scarcity of patience and effective leadership in today’s world, Elastic Infosec was founded.At Elastic, I create quarterly cybersecurity dinner sessions across the Northwest (and beyond) that are sponsored by vetted vendors. These gatherings connect professionals, foster understanding, and inspire growth. Additionally, I provide retained sales, marketing, and channel strategies for cybersecurity service providers that wish to enhance business visibility and revenue in my Northwest territory.I am open to new relationships to partner, connect and grow.
