I’m an IT professional, developer, problem solver, husband, and proud dad with a passion for technology, continuous learning, and building meaningful solutions.

Originally from the Chicago area, I attended Augustana College where I studied Physics, Mathematics, and Spanish. My time there allowed me to explore a wide range of interests both inside and outside the classroom. As a physics student, I tutored fellow students and proctored introductory physics labs, while also working with the communications department on design and marketing projects. I later had the honor of serving as president of the Augustana Web Guild, a student-led web design and communications organization.

My education provided more than technical knowledge—it shaped how I approach challenges. Physics taught me analytical thinking and how to break complex problems into manageable solutions. Studying Spanish expanded my perspective and appreciation for global communication. Through the Web Guild, I developed skills in programming, design, business management, and translating technical concepts into practical, user-friendly solutions.

After graduating, I relocated to Florida and began my career with the Sarasota County Tax Collector. In this role, I develop internal and customer-facing tools, oversee database performance, and continue expanding my technical expertise. While building my career, I also earned my MBA from University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee, where I strengthened my knowledge of business strategy, marketing, and leadership in a global environment.

Outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the Florida lifestyle—cycling, landscaping, maintaining my home, and experimenting with my home server environment. Technology has always been more than a career for me; it’s a hobby and a constant opportunity to learn. Most importantly, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful family.
