I was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky, right in the heart of the Bluegrass, where horses are part of the landscape and relationships are built to last. That upbringing shaped how I work today. I spent the first 15 years of my career as a network and security engineer, building and protecting the systems behind the scenes, before transitioning into presales and technical account management, where I get to combine deep technical experience with what I enjoy most: listening, translating complexity into clarity, and helping people make confident decisions.

 

Outside of work, I’m a husband of 18 years, a proud dad to a 15-year-old son, and a hobby photographer who’s rarely without a camera nearby. I love to travel and explore new places, whether that’s for work or just chasing the next great view. At home, we also share our space with three cats, two of which are full-blooded Maine Coons who somehow manage to take up as much space as they do personality. No matter where I am, the theme stays the same: people first, honest conversations, and solutions that actually make sense.
