SUMMARY:

• As an IT Director for 9 years at a well - established firm, I decided to move to consulting so that I could engage with cutting edge technologies. My passion is for learning and leading new technology efforts with a knowledge management focus. I’m a well-established team leader/scrum coach within organizations and professional communities who support them. I believe in open source so much so that I’m teaching Unity to my daughter’s 3rd grade class to inspire them to not play video games, but to build them.
