My Mission & Mindset

Team Leader • Network Operations Engineer • U.S. Army Veteran

I’m a U.S. Army Veteran and passionate technologist with a mission-first mindset. I thrive at the intersection of performance, resilience, and innovation.

Whether I’m mentoring engineers, troubleshooting critical incidents, or building scalable systems, I bring focus, precision, and a bias for action.

What drives me?
Relentless improvement, tactical execution, and elevating those around me.

Outside of tech, I find creative fuel in music and cooking—both hands-on crafts that keep me sharp, expressive, and grounded.
