Technology has fascinated and inspired me since I got my first computer at age 12. At 13, I started my own Internet Service Provider. That drove me to study all facets of Information Technology Management and channel my passion into launching a cloud computing company that I ran successfully for seven years. As a seasoned CTO and entrepreneur, I am passionate about making technology work for companies that sets them up for success and continuous growth. It is my belief that technology implemented correctly can help a business grow profitability, increase customer and employee satisfaction, and offer competitive advantages. Whether it be implementing secure solutions, cultivating top level vendor relationships, or deploying the latest in cloud computing, I have a proven track record of mapping technology stacks for companies that optimizes their business process in ways not thought possible. My passion for technology leads me to many interesting opportunities for speaking and education. I have successfully guided teams, growing the careers of many from entry-level field engineers to IT leaders.
