Bio

I reside in Orange County, California and it has been an exciting road of experiences to get here. I have lead organizations as EVP, CIO, CTO and Vice President of Technology for global organizations. I have traveled to all 7 continents, 40+ countries and 48 US states. I hold 2 separate college degrees: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration – Marketing and an Associate of Applied Science in Computer Science. The combination allows me to hold technical conversations and translate those conversations into actionable business objectives for internal and external clients. I have been called a “friend of sales” That said, most of my early career was spent in software design and development. Now that my coding days have past, I am experienced and practiced in Board, C-Level, Private Equity and Analyst communications; having authored board level plans and represented large firms for public analysts. I truly enjoy working with people; teams of all shapes and sizes. I have been C-level leader and mentor for organizations of 90,000+ people, but also enjoyed founding (and eventually selling) a small web and pc applications startup company. I truly enjoyed gaining my Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification in 2016, but not as much as my FAA Private Pilot, PADI Open water or certified boater certifications that allow me to enjoy southern California.
