Profile

About Me

A career spanning avionics, technical communications, enterprise software, collaboration platforms, architecture, and organizational transformation.

My Mission

Earlier in my career, I used a traditional goals-and-objectives statement to describe my ambition to learn, contribute, and grow. That approach became a practical way to explain how I would apply my skills to the opportunity in front of me—and then deliver on it.

After more than two decades in IT, that ambition has evolved into a mission: help organizations leverage foundational technologies that enable people to connect, learn, contribute ideas, and create measurable innovation and efficiency.

My Story

My professional path began with avionics and technical writing, moved into digital delivery and enterprise application development, and grew into systems architecture and technology leadership. I joined the California Air National Guard as an avionics specialist and later worked with McDonnell Douglas/Boeing on technical documentation and digital delivery initiatives supporting aircraft programs.

In 2004, after completing a BSB in E-Business from the University of Phoenix, I moved to the Seattle area and joined Boeing's collaboration technology organization. My responsibilities expanded from enterprise application development into architecture, platform strategy, integration, service design, and technology insertion across large-scale corporate environments.
