Profile Information
- About Me:
- I like to think I am a generalist in areas pertaining to the intersection of business and technology. During my career, I’ve experienced many technologies and business models in industries as diverse as telecommunications (both wireless and wireline), management consulting, intellectual property, information technology, manufacturing, software development, medical technology and oil & gas.
I’ve held many different positions, from front-line technical roles to leadership roles and have a broad base of experience managing large multi-functional teams. My experience ranges from roles such as technical support engineer to Director of Technical Services for North and South America. I have experience in the fields of project management, product management, business unit leadership, team leadership, customer service, technical support, training, training development, software and hardware implementation, software development and consulting.
I currently work as an independent consultant helping clients align their technology with their business objectives. I’d welcome any opportunities that you think would be a good fit for my background. If you’d like a more in-depth look at my background, feel free to review my resume.
In addition to my consulting practice, I stay busy helping other people. I am the founder of the Dallas / Fort Worth Entrepreneur Network, a networking group focused on entrepreneurs and the Dallas Technology Network, a networking group focused on technology executives in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. I have been involved in CompTIA’s Workforce Advisory Board and served on the Board of Directors for various volunteer and charitable organizations.
