About
My journey into technology began when my dad brought home a RadioShack computer and told me to “figure it out.” That led to command-line programming (DOS), video games (Black Cauldron), messaging (IRC/AOL), and ultimately a career built on solving complex problems through technology. At Microsoft, I’ve held roles as Partner Development Manager, Partner Technology Strategist, and Partner Solution Area Lead/Architect—across both local and global scopes, in channel sales and with system integrators. I bring this experience, along with a strong passion for security, to the tech team. Lately, I’ve been diving into agents, agent security, and the exciting ways that our discpline is evolving. I live in central Texas with my partner, our two kids, and a chihuahua who thinks he’s a cat. Outside of work, I enjoy yoga, gardening, hiking, ice hockey, and following sports—especially American football (Detroit Lions) and Formula One (Ferrari). Looking forward to solving hard problems together.
