I've been writing code since high school. I've also spent years as a graphic designer, photographer, and creative professional, working in publishing, advertising, and even the comic book industry. I earned my design degree later, as an adult, after both paths were already well underway.

Most technology executives come from one direction. I came from both simultaneously. That dual foundation of technical and creative, systems and aesthetic, shaped how I think about every platform, workflow, and team problem I've encountered since.

Across three decades and six industries, one pattern has defined my career: I answer the call when things are broken, understaffed, ungoverned, or stalled, and I fix it. The integrations team with no inventory. The platform collapsing under its own weight. The project with no owner and no requirements. I've built the structure, assembled the team, and delivered.

I've presented technology strategy to boards of directors from my first VP role onward. I've negotiated vendor contracts that saved millions. I've built AI programs from zero to production. And I still believe the best technology is the kind people barely notice. Because it just works.
