About Me
Financial leader, technology enthusiast, and Navy veteran dedicated to driving operational excellence through strategic innovation and data-driven solutions.
When I'm not diving into data or designing workflows, you'll find me in the garage woodworking, 3D printing creative projects, or on the basketball court trying to keep up with friends. I'm fueled by international travel, a deep love of great food, and the simple joys of family life. As a dad of two amazing girls and a husband, family is my daily motivation and greatest source of pride. I'm also a son, a brother, and a proud veteran of the United States Navy—a chapter that shaped my discipline, drive, and values.

My Navy Journey
My time in the United States Navy (2014-2019) was transformative, shaping not just my career but my character. Serving as a Financial Manager, I learned the importance of precision, accountability, and leadership under pressure. The Navy taught me that excellence isn't just a goal—it's a standard.
Through multiple overseas deployments in support of combat and humanitarian operations, I experienced firsthand the power of teamwork, dedication, and mission-focused leadership. These experiences in high-stakes environments taught me to remain calm under pressure, think strategically, and always put the mission and my team first.

I'm always interested in connecting with fellow builders, dreamers, and lifelong learners. If you're passionate about tech, business, or simply making life better (with a side of good food or travel recommendations), let's connect.
