Practical IT Leadership

I solve complex technology challenges through practical leadership and strong business partnerships. With over 10 years of progressive experience across military, financial services, and pharmaceutical sectors, I specialize in managing critical IT initiatives, building PMO frameworks, and delivering infrastructure programs that deliver measurable results.

My approach focuses on getting things done - building teams, managing vendors, and ensuring projects deliver on time and budget. Whether leading $4M+ infrastructure programs across multiple sites, developing PMO capabilities from scratch, or managing technology transitions during M&A activities, I deliver reliable results in challenging environments.

From hands-on technical work in my military service to IT leadership in pharmaceutical environments, my career shows steady growth toward greater responsibility and organizational impact. I excel in complex situations where clear communication and systematic execution make the difference.
