IT leader, architect, and mentor. I've been coding since I was 12 and have spent my whole life around computers and games — turning that lifelong curiosity into a career building software, scaling cloud platforms, and growing the engineers around me.
I'm a passionate technology leader, architect, and mentor based in the Madison, Wisconsin area. As a Software Development Director at Trek Bicycle, I lead teams that design and ship the platforms behind one of the world's most recognized brands.
My story starts long before the job titles — I wrote my first code at 12 years old and never stopped. Computers and games have been the constant thread through my entire life, and that early obsession grew into a deep love for clean architecture, cloud technology, and solving hard problems at scale.
I care just as much about people as I do about systems. I believe in leading by example — never asking my team to do something I wouldn't do myself — and I genuinely love helping others learn and grow. My philosophy is simple: there's a solution to every problem, and winners find a way.
Directing development teams, setting technical vision, and creating the conditions for engineers to do their best work.
Designing resilient, scalable systems and modernizing platforms with cloud-native and DevOps practices.
Still a builder at heart — fluent across the stack, with deep roots in the PHP and web ecosystem.
I love helping others learn and level up. Every problem has a solution — winners find a way.
Whether it's leadership, architecture, mentoring, or the latest game — I'm always up for a good conversation.
