I have been working on computers for quite some time now. At a young age I was drawn to computers and once I was able to receive a high speed connection at my house I was hooked. Over the years my entrepreneurial spirit combined with my technical aptitude has lead me down a path of highly technical and complex solution design for a wide variety of business/IT problems. In my current role I set the direction for Expedient's Product Strategy and evangelize Expedient as a brand. My team is tasked with designing products, services, and solutions that solve every day IT problems. I love making new professional connections. Feel free to reach out to me if you want to talk technology, business, or cars.
