The Work That Matters
Strategic infrastructure leadership for organizations that can't afford downtime
đď¸ Enterprise Transformations
Complete infrastructure rebuilds, server farm upgrades, domain migrations, and network overhauls across multi-site organizations. SQL Server modernizations, VMware to Hyper-V transitions, Windows Server evolution from 2008 to 2025âall executed with operational continuity.
âď¸ Cloud & Hybrid Architecture
On-premise to Azure transitions, AWS infrastructure deployment, Office 365 enterprise rollouts, and Okta SSO integrations. Identity management across hybrid environments, cloud cost optimization, and strategic multi-cloud implementations that balance security, scalability, and budget.
đ¨ Emergency Response & Recovery
When critical systems fail, response time is everything. Emergency data recovery, system restoration under pressure, disaster scenarios resolved with minimal business impact. The expertise to assess, stabilize, and restore when every minute counts.
đ Security & Compliance
Enterprise-grade security implementations across regulated industries. EDR/MDR deployment, email security hardening, DNS filtering, endpoint protection strategies. Healthcare HIPAA compliance, government security requirements, and financial data protectionâall implemented without disrupting operations.
Primary Lead, Not Just Support
When organizations trust you with their most critical infrastructureâtheir patient records, their production systems, their public safety networksâyou don't get to practice. You become THE person they call when systems need to work.
Over a decade serving as primary technical lead for healthcare providers, county governments, manufacturing operations, and professional services firms. Not tier-1 support. Not backup. The strategic architect and hands-on engineer who owns the outcome.
From initial assessment through planning, implementation, and ongoing optimizationâmanaging projects where downtime means lost revenue, compromised patient care, or halted public services. That's the work. That's the responsibility. That's the standard.
Technical Depth Across
The Philosophy
"IT is only draining if you aren't a curious lifelong learner. For some, the rate of change and new things are exhilarating, not exhausting. I went from fixing printers to deploying desktop apps to managing VoIP systems to leading teams of engineersâand every step was driven by curiosity and the joy of solving problems that matter."
That mindsetâcombined with being a dad to five (four here, one watching from above), a partner, a community volunteer, and someone who's learned that perspective comes from both joy and profound lossâshapes how I approach every challenge. Technical excellence with human empathy. Strategic thinking with hands-on execution. Long-term commitment to organizations that value both.
Let's Talk About What You Need
Whether you need strategic technical leadership for a long-term role, consulting expertise for a critical project, or fractional support to guide your infrastructure transformationâ I bring a decade of delivering measurable results when it matters most.
Full-time opportunities: Mission-driven
organizations that value both technical excellence and work-life integration.
Consulting engagements: Complex migrations,
infrastructure modernization, cloud transformations, strategic planning.
Fractional leadership: Part-time technical
guidance for organizations that need enterprise-level expertise without a full-time commitment.
