About

An engineer by education, I quickly developed a love for business management. I take satisfaction in my ability to take my technical background to help in developing, aligning and executing business strategies. I'm a data-driven individual who is passionate about the ever-increasing demand for more information. As customer needs continue to shift toward data collection, analysis and dissemination, my desire is to develop business strategies to meet these needs. I have a passion for soccer and new technologies that can grow the sports locally and globally - including efforts in player and coach development.
