Summary

I have over 15 years of experience in building and managing IT staff to high performance standards. I am a true believer that a good manager is there to help the developers and support personnel accomplish their jobs while ensuring that the big picture stays in focus. I am known as an innovator, a leader, and a problem solver. I lead by example and balance when to be decisive and when develop consensus. I am experienced in all aspects of IT Project Management, managing budgets and contracts, as well as the deployment, monitoring, maintenance, development, and support of all hardware and software based on organizational needs.
