I’m a technology professional living in Triangle (RTP) area of North Carolina, though I’m originally from Jacksonville, Florida. I’ve spent the last two decades working in various Operations, IT and Product Management roles in the HR outsourcing, health insurance and software industries. I’m a Six Sigma Black Belt and also hold active certifications as a Certified Agile Scrum Master (CSM) and Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO). I’ve also held professional credentials (SPHR) in the HR industry. In late 2024, I obtained my SAFe certification as a SAFe Scrum Master (6.0).

My wife, Jen, and I both attended Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania where I studied biological psychology and anthropology. I loved the Dickinson campus, especially its rich history from its founding just after the American Revolution as the first college in the new nation.

We have two kids, a 11-year-old son and an eight-year-old daughter.

Today I work as a technical program manager at a not-for-profit health system that operates more than 50 hospitals and over 1,000 clinics in the Pacific Northwest, California, and Texas. My work group owns the marketing platforms and all engineering related to them.
