I am a Christian, a husband, and a hard worker. I am a professional problem solver, a solution architect, a critical thinker - a fixer. I have proven myself to be a hands-on leader, a strategist, a project manager, an IT infrastructure specialist, a teacher, a mentor, and a subject matter expert. I am a lifetime technology advocate with the wisdom to see past marketing to the practical justification of implementation. I have 16 years of experience in IT serving customers in academia, business, engineering, and manufacturing. I am a writer and speaker with skill communicating to both technical and non-technical audiences. I have been known to be both innovative and conservative - idealistic and pragmatic - based on circumstance. I am dogmatic and driven because I am passionate about providing the best possible solution to my customer.Over the past nine years, I have been developing my team and project management skills while honing my expertise in various IT roles. I have served as a leader and, in many cases, as a contributing SME to several project teams in varying disciplines including IT, construction, and marketing. Most recently, I have been leading software development and manufacturing execution system implementation activities within the automotive manufacturing sector. I excel in liaising between business, engineering, and IT groups to determine and refine requirements and scope, communicate status to varied stakeholders, and deliver on time, on budget results to internal and external customers, alike.
