HIGHLIGHTS OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Oct 2011-Present ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE DIRECTOR, CHIEF ARCHITECT
Huntington National Bank, Columbus, OH
Built Huntington’s Enterprise Architecture program from the ground up, with a focus on driving
technology decision making via a cohesive, rational and defined Target State Enterprise
Architecture (TSEA). With a focus on organizational transparency, inclusivity and practical
application, Huntington’s Enterprise Architecture program is nothing short of world-class, and is
(after 4 years) an integral part of the technology culture and the driving force behind Huntington
technology strategy definition, execution and technology decision-making.
Manage a team of over 30 Senior Enterprise, Solution, Infrastructure, Info Sec and SOA
Architects, all of whom form the architecture community in a federated organization. Whereas
the Senior Enterprise Architects report directly to me, the Solution, Infrastructure, Info Sec and
SOA Architects report into the delivery channels from an HR perspective; however, it is my job to
set their agenda, manage their capacity and workload and hold progress reviews with them,
based on goals I establish (along with the Segment CIOs) throughout the year.
Drive Business and Technology transformation via a number of key initiatives, designed to bring
simplicity to the ecosystem, eliminate overlapping capabilities in key enterprise domains and take
advantage of the scale and ubiquity of the Cloud. Examples include:
Business Transformation:
 Cloud-based CRM, resulting in a single, enterprise-wide platform for sales and service,
used across all channels, retail branches and the phone bank. Resulted in the significant

2. uplift to the firm’s Optimal Customer Relationships (OCR) strategy as well as the
elimination of over a dozen segment-specific CRM platforms across the Bank
 Cloud-based Enterprise Reporting, a single solution for enterprise reporting across all
segments and device types, and a three-year roadmap for divesting of the existing in-
house (and outdated) enterprise reporting platform
 Master Data Management, providing a single, enterprise view of the customer across all
products and account types, and roadmap for migrating current (mainframe-based)
Customer Information System to the target platform
 Business Workflow Enablement, and supporting governance model to prevent over-use
and unnecessary creativity, providing business critical workflows in a federated
environment
Technology Transformation:
 Data Center Strategy & Roadmap, to address current aging data center and
infrastructure, significant gaps in automated failover, recovery and provisioning, as well
as a strategy for private and public cloud utilization
 Transformation via Portfolio Optimization, including a comprehensive inventory of
applications across the Bank, 3 year roadmaps for each application and monthly technical
debt reporting across all applications, tech stacks and infrastructure platforms
 Software Engineering, driving standardization and maturity across the development
organizations via enterprise offering for continuous integration, automated unit testing,
static code analysis and source code control, along with monthly lunch and learns to
keep the development community abreast of industry trends and evolving standards
 Identity & Access Management Strategy, including a comprehensive SSO solution and
three-year roadmap for all applications (colleague and customer-facing)
Defined a comprehensive Target State Enterprise Architecture (TSEA) program and brought over
400 colleagues through a training program designed to drive a vision for the future and provide
the framework within which all design decisions are made and alignment issues uncovered and
measured. All architecture decisions are measured against a set of comprehensive standards,
patterns and roadmaps, as well as The Huntington Core Engineering Principles. Alignment issues
are reported on the IT Scorecard every month and reviewed with the CIO and COO.
Defined, and currently executing, a comprehensive 3 year maturity roadmap, based on TOGAF
9.1.
Dec 2010-Oct 2011 CHIEF ARCHITECT, CITIMORTGAGE, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT
CitiMortgage, Columbus, OH / St. Louis, MO / Dallas, TX
As the Chief Architect for CitiMortgage, the definition of my role was very hands-on and practical,
despite the title. Challenged to architect, design and implement the strategic “Citi Mortgage
Originations” platform, along with a corresponding design governance process, focused
specifically on building a world-class Mortgage Originations platform to drive significant saves in
mortgage loan and PCL originations.
Mar 2009-Dec 2010 CHIEF ARCHITECT, CONSUMER BANKING, VICE PRESIDENT
JPMorgan Chase & Co. – Retail Financial Services (RFS), Columbus, OH
As the Chief Architect for the Retail Line of Business, worked directly with the firm-wide Chief
Architect and CIO to implement an “architecture as a business” model. With an explicit focus on
the creation and marketing of firm-wide shared services, teams and organizations were
encouraged and driven to adopt core enterprise capabilities, resulting in significant cost-savings
across the firm. Key services included the Compute and Application Backbones (CBB/ABB), cloud-
based PaaS/IaaS models, with automated procurement and self-service management of
development and test regions and SalesForce.com (CRM in a SaaS model). Other services
included corporate fax, SOA business services, and enterprise reporting and analytics.
Aug 2007-Mar 2009 APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, VICE PRESIDENT

3. JPMorgan Chase & Co. – Retail IT (Retail Branch Technology), Columbus, OH
After four successful years in an Architecture role, moved into a Delivery role. With a budget of
$5MM annually, built a team of 10 technologists, comprised of Developers, Business Analysts,
Architects, Project Managers and an additional 10-15 offshore contractors to build the JPMC
Enterprise Fraud Detection and Prevention Platform. This platform averages processing, in real
time, 12 million transactions per day across all Retail Channels (ATM, POS, Teller, IVR and
chase.com). The platform is the cornerstone of fraud prevention globally across Retail and saves
the firm a minimum of $12MM / year in real-time prevention and near-real time detection of
fraud.
Feb 2003-Aug 2007 PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT, VICE PRESIDENT
JPMorgan Chase & Co. – Corporate Administrative Services (CAS), Columbus, OH
Hired to build a Java Development Center of Excellence for the Corporate Services Line of
Business, with a focus on three dimensions: Technology, People and Process.
Technology: Designed and built an application development framework, Jaguar, based on
industry-standard design patterns and best practices, making the “right thing the easy thing”.
Key elements included built-in dependency injection, support for Single Sign-On, messaging, data
access objects, caching, business services, exception handling, etc. All corporate Java
applications built on framework, including a suite of reference data applications to support the
JPMC Finance Data Warehouse), a variety of HR applications and Finance applications, in support
of general ledger reconciliation & substantiation and firm-wide budgeting and forecasting.
People: Held Enterprise-wide “Foundations in Object Technology” (FoOT) Forums, with hundreds
of technologists across the firm attending, resulting in significant influence of the COE across the
firm, even directly influencing the creation of Columbus-based social networks such as IT Martini.
Process: Implemented a continuous integration and static code analysis capability and process
along with standards for unit testing coverage, increasing the confidence of the code base for all
applications. This dramatically improved run-time resiliency and promoted codebase refactoring
as applications were extended to meet future business needs, helping to ensure architectural and
design purity and longevity as applications grew.
1997-2003 TECHNICAL LEAD / SENIOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPER
Nationwide Financial Services (NFS) – iMedia, Columbus, OH
As a Unix C++ Developer for the web-based portal, Nationwide Financial Services Sales & Service
Center, quickly became a thought leader and influenced the technology strategy for years to
come. Created and implemented a technology and business strategy to move away from C++,
CGI and AIX to server-side Java, CORBA and MVC, before Java had made significant headway on
the server-side, and well before ratification of the J2EE, Servlet, RMI or EJB specifications.
Pioneered a creative strategy for physically separating code from content, via a custom-built
“templating” framework, allowing for better organizational agility and improved speed to market.
Defined and implemented the software development methodology as well as a content
management process for allowing quick updates to the user interface without the need for
coding, recompilation and production software deploys. Finally, defined a “before its time”
Service-Oriented Architecture approach based on object-based remote procedure calls via CORBA
and standard / platform-agnostic IDL (Interface Definition Language) interfaces. This strategy,
after implemented, saved Nationwide Financial Services over $500,000 per year in improved
productivity, better resiliency, a simplified development / implementation model and significant
improvement to the customer user experience.
Created a formal training program, aimed at making all “legacy” developers proficient in the new
platform, resulting in dozens of Java Programmer and Architect certifications.
2001-2002 ADJUNCT FACULTY, COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM – C++ / OOAD
Franklin University, Columbus, OH

4. Instructed undergraduate students on the beauty and power of Procedural and Object-Oriented
programming using the C++ programming language and the UNIX Operating System. Ranked

1989 –1995 DATA SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN / WORK CENTER SUPERVISOR
U.S. NAVY / USS Comte De Grasse (DD-974), Norfolk, VA
Managed the operational and infrastructure support of ship’s NTDS (Naval Tactical Data System)
platform (Univac AN/UYK-7(V) mainframe, operational consoles, peripherals and supporting
infrastructure). Managed a workshop of ten Data Systems Technicians and a budget of $1MM
annually. Through this foundational experience, learned, first-hand, the intrinsic value of
redundancy, fault tolerance, monitoring, documentation, communication, preparation and
leadership.
