About Me
Professionally
For the past nine years I have been heavily involved in the Web development space building enterprise-level, database-driven Web applications and leading technology teams. I'm incredibly passionate about what I do and attempt to inject my enthusiasm and love for technology in all those around me.
In my overall strategy of building high performance teams and managing enterprise-level projects I could be described as a "cohesion warrior." I strive each and every day to challenge those around me to build the absolute best software for our customers. This involves coordinating efforts from sales, marketing, executive management, product development, customer support, and ultimately the folks writing code, to ensure the best possible technology experience is delivered to our customers. I have a learned ability to communicate across an entire enterprise, from executive management and owners to customer support, bringing teams together to solve difficult business problems.
Whether it involves writing code or leading teams I aim to make a positive difference in the lives of those around me.

Personally
When I'm not immersing myself in all things technology I enjoy spending time with my family (wife and son), riding my sportbike (currently a 2003 Yamaha R6), reading about business, leadership and fiction, scuba diving, and golf. At least, that's the short list.
I'm available for speaking engagements and consulting on just about anything related to the Internet. To get in touch with me - for any reason - visit my contact page.
