My Passions
I have long aspired to live the kind of life that I don't have to vacation from.
In the infamous words of George A. Moore, "A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it." For me, home is a log cabin in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It's the perfect place to raise my daughter, build cherished memories, cook, enjoy great views, and embrace the tranquility of nature's surroundings.
In my career, I have a passion for leadership in technology. Things that inspire me outside of my profession include...
- Being a Dad to a lovely daughter
- Time with family and friends
- Exercising
- Time in nature
- Reading & Growing
- Cooking & Grilling
- Hiking in the Rocky Mountains
- Playing flamenco and classic rock tunes on an acoustic guitar
Personal favorites...

- Favorite quote, "Always do what you are afraid to do.”―R.W.E.
