I am a strong proponent of cloud technologies and leverage my business acumen to first understand the business goals, financials, constraints and ultimately work backwards from the customer to deliver technology solutions. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles and live in Laguna Hills, CA with my wife and two children. In my free time, I enjoy golf, the ocean and spending time with friends.
