It UPSETS ME like you don't know! I've had a 20+ year career as a technologist who doesn't know what to be when I grow up but is super good at mapping technologies to desired outcomes. I love being part of, leading, learning from, and coaching various fellowships of talented people performing rapid deployments of Technology for companies and teams of all sizes. With great honor, I've been allowed to impact 100s of companies' technology success and inspire the careers 1000s of fellow hackers of all levels, ages, and backgrounds. I believe I have a unique knack for driving velocity and continuous improvement for companies, teams, and individuals. Cloud technologies can be an equalizer and game-changer for everyone. I know I can get you and your teams back on track, moving faster, or off to a good start for your company to be a top tech performer in your space. One of the best roles to amplify my abilities and impact tech velocity has been the practice of Sales Engineering, which I love and have been doing for the second half of my career. I'm always open to sharing ideas, consuming, and creating content around my love of new Technology and the Sales Engineering Community. I couldn't have asked for a better career in 20+ years of profession as a technologist. I spent the first half of it as a systems engineer and helping enterprises deploy Technology quicker, starting at Hewitt Associates in 1997. They instilled in me their great culture of employees giving each other the ''benefit of the doubt.'' It also instilled in me a tech-forward spirit and demanded the highest service from our technology vendors. Even though I was entry-level, the CIO relied on my generalist knack for evaluating Technology quickly to help make IT decisions for the company. I used my talents to propel myself through opportunities for tech's rapid deployment for various companies of all sizes, including startups. The second half of my career was spent working for technology vendors in Sales Engineering. It was more so out of frustration that I know delivery of enterprise technology can be much better! As much as Technology can be cool, I find it even more compelling when it's making an impact!
