BIO  



My Attempt to Keep it Pithy

Technologist. Entrepreneur. Real Estate Investor. Enterprise Architect. Systems Strategist. Aviator. World Traveler. Surfer. Skydiver. Sailor. Musician. Artist. Humorist. Golfer. Explorer. Et alii.

I’ve been fortunate to appreciate and experience some truly incredible things. So vast and eclectic, I often jest that I’ve had many previous lives.

Companies have entrusted me to design infrastructures, fix broken systems, re-engineer departments, and design workflows; I’m proud to say that companies bring me in to solve the problems no one else can. I’m a solutions expert.

A commercial pilot, flight instructor, and aerobatic airshow performer. I've been a professor teaching graduate courses to being the youngest Director of Academics at a renowned, leading sciences university.

My intrinsic entrepreneurial spirit has led to the creation and formation of many businesses over the years; this insatiable drive to imagine, create and inspire is both sustaining and enduring.

Many paths, many lives: Where I go from here is based solely on my disdain for the status quo, my unpromising drive, and the mindset that there are no boundaries. For a man who doesn’t seem to sleep, my hobbies are as diverse as my professional background.
