A proven leader solving complex technology challenges through practical leadership, PMO development, and infrastructure expertise in regulated industries.

Leadership Approach

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 technology initiatives, developing PMO capabilities, and delivering infrastructure programs that deliver reliable results.

My approach focuses on getting things done - building teams, managing stakeholders, and ensuring projects deliver on time and budget. I work well in regulated environments where attention to detail, PMO discipline, and clear communication are essential for success.

From leading multi-million dollar infrastructure programs to managing technology transitions during M&A activities, I perform well in challenging situations where clear leadership and systematic execution make the difference. I take ownership of outcomes and build sustainable processes that benefit the organization long-term.

Beyond the Office

Originally from Massachusetts - born in Chelsea, raised in Plymouth - I've been calling Houston home for several years now. The move from New England to Texas has been an interesting transition, and I've come to appreciate both the history and community feel of where I grew up and the energy and opportunities here in Houston.

Outside of work, I'm pretty competitive by nature. I enjoy poker - both the mental challenge and the social aspect of reading people and situations. I'm a big reader too, mostly thrillers and spy novels (yes, I made it through all of Game of Thrones). When I want to completely disconnect, I'll spend time PC gaming, which is a good way to unwind and think about problems differently.

I think my background gives me a good balance - the methodical, detail-oriented approach you get from New England, combined with the adaptability and openness to new ideas that living in different places teaches you. Whether that's managing a complex project or figuring out how to navigate a new organization, having that perspective helps.
