From the Navy to the enterprise server room to your business. Here's how I got here — and why I'm doing this now.
I didn't start in tech. I started in the U.S. Navy, where I learned that the most important skills aren't technical — they're about showing up, solving problems under pressure, and taking responsibility for the results.
Over the next three decades, I built infrastructure for some of the largest organizations in the world: Lockheed Martin, Accenture, Oracle, and Children's National Hospital. I managed teams of 16–32 engineers across 6 countries. I've seen what works, what fails, and why most technology projects go off the rails.
Now I'm bringing all of that experience to a simple mission: help you get real, measurable value from AI — without the hype, without the buzzwords, and without the $50K contracts that deliver nothing.
12 years of service. Learned leadership, discipline, and how to operate complex systems under pressure. Built the foundation of everything that followed.
Large-scale defense infrastructure. Learned what "mission-critical" really means — when systems can't go down, you learn to build them right the first time.
Global consulting. Managed multinational teams and learned how to translate between technical reality and business expectations.
Scaled infrastructure for one of the world's largest tech companies. Saw firsthand how enterprise systems should — and shouldn't — scale.
Healthcare IT — where every decision affects patient care. Learned to build with empathy and precision, where downtime isn't an option.
I've spent 30+ years watching technology promises overpromise and underdeliver. AI is different. When you know how to use it, it's a genuine multiplier. My job is to get you there — fast, honestly, and with no fluff.
