About Me

Husband, Father, and Consultant in the private sector. 2009 Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Solutions Architect. Spent 10 and-a-half years in the public sector and recently moved to the private sector. Career has focused on IT solutions to business problems, solutions architecture and information sharing. Love to learn new things, challenge my perspectives and share experience with others.

Have a passion for leadership and learning techniques and styles to leverage my leadership abilities to motivate others to be their best.

Right out of High School I faced the challenge of battling with cancer from 1998 through 2000. I have been cancer free for 9 years. That experience shaped a lot of who I am today and, though challenging, I am grateful to be considered a survivor.
