Director of Technology | Warwick Public Schools

I’m a lifelong Warwick resident and currently serve as the Director of Technology for Warwick Public Schools, where I lead districtwide technology operations supporting students, staff, and schools.

My background spans hands-on technical work, operational leadership, and customer-focused service. I started as a computer technician, progressed through coordination and assistant director roles, and now oversee systems that include infrastructure, cybersecurity, student information systems, data privacy, and instructional technology.

I work closely with district leadership, administrators, educators, and vendors to ensure technology is secure, reliable, compliant, and practical—so schools can stay focused on teaching and learning.

Areas I’m especially passionate about include:
• Service-oriented technology leadership
• Cybersecurity and staff awareness
• Inclusive technology for students with special needs
• Simplifying systems and processes
• Leading with transparency, trust, and collaboration

Before entering public education, I spent many years in multi-site retail and IT operations, shaping my belief that how people are supported matters as much as the technology itself.

Outside of work, I’m a husband and dad, an animal lover, a musician at heart, and someone deeply connected to the Warwick community.
