What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic and operational technology teams that deliver promised outcomes through collaboration, continuous improvement, quality service, and calm, practical execution.

I've led technology operations and end-user support teams at Spire, guiding cross-functional technical staff supporting critical equipment, customer-facing applications, and end users. I focus on continuous improvement, service quality, and customer-centric delivery.

Previously at Brookwood Baptist Health, I managed desktop services, enterprise mobility, single sign-on, IT security incident response, vulnerability scanning, and compliance efforts involving HIPAA and PCI. I value calm execution, strong team reputations, and collaboration that solves business objectives.
