Technology:I look to build simple systems with a focus on usability. While no system is ever truly finished, it is always the goal to meet or exceed the defined needs of a problem with the developed system. By creating a dialog between the end user and the development team, the project becomes closer to what is needed to solve the problem. By designing flexible systems, the project is open to change as it develops. This is how I try to design systems and software.Leadership:I look to build an effective and engaged team of future leaders for long-term personal and company growth by creating an environment that encourages development, openness, and loyalty. By serving members of my team first, I free them to serve clients, each other, and themselves by allowing room for them to develop and grow their skills. By growing people, results multiply.Other skills:In the past I have been at times a professional musician, director, comedian, actor, writer, waiter, shelf-stocker, producer, karaoke host, audio engineer, public speaker/presenter, stage manager, lighting designer, note-taker, bartender and janitor.
