About
I am an experienced technology and infrastructure leader with over 20 years of experience in data center operations, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and IT management. Throughout my career, I have held leadership and technical positions at Microsoft, Oracle, Sherwin-Williams, JPMorgan Chase, and Chainalysis Government Solutions.
My professional strengths include managing mission-critical infrastructure, leading technical teams, improving operational efficiency, overseeing complex technology projects, and maintaining secure, reliable IT environments. I have experience supporting enterprise and government organizations, including highly regulated environments.
I am also a retired U.S. Army Major and Bronze Star recipient. My military service strengthened my leadership, problem-solving, decision-making, and ability to perform under pressure.
Academically, I hold an MBA with a concentration in Management Information Systems from Wilmington University and the CISSP certification. I also have experience teaching technology courses as an adjunct university instructor.
Some of my key achievements include contributing to two major Tier III data center buildouts at Sherwin-Williams, managing operations across six secure Microsoft facilities, and supporting complex cloud infrastructure initiatives at Oracle.
My career goal is to continue advancing into senior leadership positions where I can apply my technical expertise, business knowledge, and leadership experience to build high-performing teams, strengthen infrastructure reliability, and drive organizational success.
