I am a seasoned telecommunications and construction professional with over 25 years of experience, specializing in fiber network operations and heavy civil construction. As the Vice President of Fiber Operations at Montana Internet, I successfully built the fiber division from the ground up, expanding high-speed broadband access to over 5,000 customers across Montana. My technical versatility and operational leadership have been pivotal in driving efficiency and cost control in fiber deployment projects.

Throughout my career, I have engineered and deployed various network types, including Active Ethernet, GPON, and WDM networks for diverse clients such as hospitals, schools, and commercial businesses. My expertise extends to designing extensive fiber networks, managing permitting processes, and collaborating with stakeholders to ensure seamless project execution. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to lead cross-functional teams to deliver projects on time and within budget.
