My passion is helping people and organizations identify, align to, and achieve mutual goals through collaboration, transparency, and the creation of trusting relationships. With roughly two decades of experience in IT for a myriad of client industries in both private and public sectors, I am in my element when building relationships, problem solving, leading and coordinating initiatives in collaborative, fast-paced atmospheres. Recognizing and enhancing opportunities with a constant eye toward maximizing business value energizes me as much as the smiles I create when my teams achieve their goals. Since beginning my career as a custom software application developer, I've gained solid experience in every aspect of end-to-end Technical project management and custom product development life cycles from initial concept and business value analysis through design, testing, implementation, and long-term support. I've been lucky to have had opportunities to collaborate with a wide variety of talented people from a diverse set of backgrounds and industries and I enjoy learning from others as much as I enjoy mentoring and coaching. I believe that continuous learning with a focus on self-improvement is key to getting the most out of any experience - both professional and personal. Truly partnering with others in a spirit of inclusion, honesty, and respect is my constant focus and has been the cornerstone upon which I generate success for my teams and organizations. Every challenge is an opportunity - and finding that silver lining is a big part of what makes work fun!
