Hi. I'm a technology agnostic software consultant and Microsoft MVP Award winner.

I focus on teams. I help teams work better together!

I've worked in the software field for over over 10 years for such clients as AOL, Discovery Channel, The National Academy of Sciences, Toyota/JM Family and more. Don't believe I'm technology agnostic? For three of those years I worked as a .NET consultant for a subsidiary of Red Hat (you know, the Linux company?) while my main developer machine was a Macbook Pro. I currently reside in Kingsport, TN. I am an occasional speaker at the local .NET user group and other technical and business-focused events.

I have an M.S. in Software Engineering from George Mason University and was the co-founder and chair of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) at UVA-Wise, where I recieved my B.S. in Computer Science. I love speaking on software engineering and career development at colleges. Contact me to come speak at your event! Want to work together? Get in touch! Let's build great software together.
