I have worked nearly every position possible in the IT Industry since 1987, and have since the mid 90's pursued a more concentrated career in IT Leadership. My focus has been on a business-first approach to IT, which has had a substantial positive effect on the companies where I have worked. My goal is to continue to excel and grow in this adventure of a career, as I continue to provide technical solutions that are aligned with our strategy and drive competitive advantage through innovative processes and capabilities that differentiate us in our market place. Along the way I seek to mentor and coach those around me who share in this vision. The end is to empower and equip them for similar or even greater success. Specialties: RETAIL - I have worked in IT in the retail industry almost exclusively. Over the years this has given me a very deep understanding of this industry, with its many and varied challenges and opportunities. I have touched all parts of it, from the challenges of store operations to the demands on the logistics infrastructure that keeps it alive.
