Table of contents
For as long as I can remember I’ve been drawn to technology, eager to soak up everything I could about it. Over my 20-year career—spanning roles in technical support, systems and database administration, technical training, and people leadership—I’ve discovered that one of my greatest joys is sharing that passion with others. These days, my focus is on data, which I believe is the cornerstone of all technology, driving innovation across every area of IT. I’m also a big fan of the cloud and automation, and I love finding ways to streamline processes with tools like PowerShell. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, volunteering with my church, and diving into a good book, movie, or video game. Whether on the page or the screen, I love a good adventure.
