About

Strategic IT & Business Leader
Ownership, adaptability, and continuous improvement.
Growing up in a small business family, I learned early on that success isn’t just about having a great product or service—it’s about taking ownership and doing whatever it takes to create positive outcomes. That mindset has stayed with me throughout my career, driving my commitment to results, accountability, and leadership in every role I take on.
As a strategic IT and business leader, I specialize in optimizing infrastructure, managing complex projects, and driving operational excellence. With nearly two decades of experience and a track record of managing multimillion dollar IT projects, I align people, technology, and strategy to create scalable processes that deliver measurable business value.
I believe in continuous improvement—success isn’t a one-time achievement but a process of constant refinement. By eliminating inefficiencies, improving workflows, and leveraging data driven decision making, I ensure that I stay ahead of industry shifts. My 4P framework—People, Process, Product, and Profit—keeps human elements, operational efficiency, product quality, and financial impact at the core of my decisions.
As an agile thinker and adaptable leader, I anticipate challenges, embrace change, and build high performing teams that drive success and results. Whether leading cross-functional teams, optimizing IT infrastructure, or shaping strategic roadmaps, I am committed to growth, innovation, and delivering results.
Skills
With a mix of leadership, technical expertise, and strategic vision, I focus on delivering results, driving continuous improvement, and building scalable high performing infrastructure. I thrive on solving challenges, adapting to change, and always looking for ways to grow, improve, and make an impact.
Resume

My experience covers IT management, infrastructure, networking, and business operations, with a strong focus on getting things done efficiently and effectively. Whether it's leading teams, troubleshooting critical issues, or optimizing systems, I take ownership and work to deliver real results.
