Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

I started in Storage in the early 1990's and earned the Compaq (later HP) Master Accredited Systems Engineer - Storage Architect. I worked at HP for many years before I took a new challenge at a start-up that was working on a SAN Acceleration Appliance. I joined Hitachi Data Systems in January 2012 as a Technical Consultant. I became the Strategic Technical Consultant for Western Canada at HDS in 2013 and added Unified Compute as a skill set later that year.

My responsibilities include pre-sales consulting, design, delivery and upgrade consulting and implementation for clients in North America. My clients include Telus Communications, New York Stock Exchange, Direct Energy, Hydro One, T-Systems, Goodyear / Xerox, Alberta Investment Managemet Corporation, City of Calgary, City of Kitchener, and the City of Winnipeg.

When not delivering state of the art Storage and Compute Solutions for HDS, and piling up Frequent Flyer Miles, I am the Dad of 3 incredible boys and enjoy family, sailing, and my classic Einglish Sports Car.
