I am a Colorado native, with two kids, two cars, two dogs, one wife, one mortgage. I view my life like a kayaker - I have packed my gear as best I can, water proofed everything, and jumped into the Cat 6 rapids we call life. I am simply trying to avoid rocks or getting sucked under, and concentrating on flipping back over when I get rolled.

My specialty is in the utilization of technology to create, train and balance teams. I have applied experience in the areas of team building, leadership, strategic planning, training, and information technology implementation.

I have been around the block, working in: warehousing, auditing, transportation, accounting, manufacturing, customer service, retail sales, personnel, inventory control, training, operations, web design, computer installation and maintenance, technical support, and community building.

Throughout this, my interest has been in the areas of thought leadership and team building.

It has been my honor to have worked with thousands of people with very diverse backgrounds, leveraging initiative and flexibility to promote an inclusive environment. It is the sum of our differences which allows us to achieve more together than we can create alone.

I am a Social Media Revolutionary who wants to fundamentally change the world through meaningful connections and interactions. As a LinkedIn Open Networker (LION), and would love to connect with you.
