About Me

I am a seasoned technology executive with over 25 years of experience in enterprise architecture, application development, and network infrastructure. I currently lead the cloud-based e-commerce and point-of-sale development teams for Unleashed Brands, a parent company of six youth enrichment brands across over 800 locations.

My passion is to leverage technology to solve complex business problems and deliver digital innovation. I have a proven track record of designing and implementing cutting-edge software and infrastructure solutions that enhance customer experience, increase operational efficiency, and drive revenue growth. I have also built and managed high-performing global teams of software engineers, QA engineers, UI/UX designers, project managers, and database administrators, fostering a culture of collaboration, quality, and agility. In addition, I have strong expertise in cloud computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, system integration, web applications, and PCI/SOX compliance. I am actively pursuing an Executive MBA at Texas Christian University to further sharpen my business acumen and leadership skills.

Outside of the office and classroom, I am a husband, father of 3, and a true nerd. I have a passion for learning and trying new things. As a result, I enjoy many hobbies. First, I am an avid off-roader. I enjoy going on fun adventures on my bike or in my Jeep (and I secretly enjoy collecting the ducks that go along with owning a Jeep see this article for further explanation). In addition, I also enjoy hiking, fishing, and camping (pretty much anything that gets me outside). There is nothing like ending a day in the outdoors around a campfire to clear your head and bring perspective. Last but certainly not least, I enjoy gaming of all sorts. I actively collect all kinds of board games, and I thoroughly enjoy trying new and varied games in all genres. I also enjoy video games; however, these days, I cannot hope to compete with the younger generation.

I guess at the end of the day, I can be summed up as a man passionate about his work, his family, and living life to the fullest. We only get one chance, so let's make the absolute best of it!
