ABOUT

Throughout my career, I've focused on digital transformation and innovation, leading teams to implement strategic roadmaps that leverage emerging technologies to drive business outcomes.

Currently, I'm leading digital and marketing-wide AI transformation initiatives that reimagine how teams work with AI as collaborative partners. With extensive experience in large-scale digital experiences and AI initiatives, I help organizations harness new technologies to enhance rather than replace human capabilities.

I'm passionate about cultivating innovative, data-driven teams and supporting their growth in our evolving digital and AI landscape. Whether providing hands-on guidance through new implementations or empowering teams to own their enhanced workflows, I help everyone reach their potential in this new era of work.

Beyond work, I'm an avid cyclist and coach. My wife and I also run our ranch and operate a nonprofit that provides affordable food to our community and supports emerging cottage industry businesses.
