On March 14, 2025 I joined Leidos as Sr Director, AI Solutions. It's a unique opportunity to work in my passion space of AI/ML/genAI (and AWS), and for an amazing company.

At this point I have 4 years tenure at AWS, 15 years at Microsoft, and 9 years at AWS and Microsoft partners. I've been in the cloud space since the earliest days - 2007-2008. I was doing AI/ML work before Sam Altman and ChatGPT made it cool and popular.

If I had to put down everything except one hobby, I would keep flying. Fortunately, I can have more than one, so...

When the weather is good (March through October) I'm a [road] cyclist and suburban micro-farmer.

When the weather is not so good (November through February) I'm an amateur genealogist, wanna-be maker, and maybe I'll try my hand at welding.
