Resume and Info

Father, Brother, Son. Family is important. Friends are important. For without our network of people, how could we succeed?

THought and Action Leader in Technology EngineEring.

I’ve spent more than twenty years in technology as a career. I’ve experienced and driven changes in Corporate Information Technology, Application Service Providing, Software-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Infrastructure-as-Code, DevOps, and much more. I’ve never stopped learning, never stopped growing. It’s important in any industry, and for 20 years, it’s definitely been a key part of my industry and my strategy.

Now I’m learning a different path again. I originally took the slightly less traditional path into my career by beginning with Military service. I learned on the job, in the field, under the pressure of the U.S. Marine Corps, and the 1st Gulf War. That is where I built my first TCP/IP Network. Now today I’m retrofitting my learning by finishing my Bachelors of Arts in Business at Concordia University Texas.

I believe, fully, that learning should never stop…

Next Stop, Masters in Business…
