Solving business problems using
Information Technology (IT) led me
to become fascinated by business

In 1995, I heeded
the call:
“Go West, Young
Man”

Corporate America taught me a lot, but at

I love food

I love to experience new places

I love to read (and write)

I love music
(particularly live music)

I’m passionate about giving back…
… and putting smiles on faces like these.
