ABOUT

I am a transformational technology executive with 28+ years of experience leading engineering, data, and digital teams to deliver innovation at scale. I specialize in aligning technology strategy with business vision, using data and AI to drive growth, customer value, and market leadership.

Beyond my executive career, I'm the author of Kid Ledger 5000 (KL5K), a practical, science-backed system that helps kids learn real-world money skills through a hands-on ledger model. KL5K transforms traditional allowance and chore routines into a screen-free framework that builds financial confidence, accountability, and independence in kids. Learn more at kl5k.com.

I bring a multidisciplinary mindset to leadership, shaped by hands-on experience in technology, creative work, and the outdoors. Whether building systems, writing, or exploring, I value clarity, momentum, and original thinking.
