About

Summarizing who I am and what I do is always challenging as I would like to think of myself as a well rounded, well traveled person. I have served my country and stay active in Veterans activities, while I don't engage in some of the team sports I used, I still enjoy active outdoor activities when I have the chance. I'm an animal lover and am rarely without a Labrador paling around with me. I've worked in the telecom industry for upwards of 25 years now and watched the world become much smaller with technology bring us all together. I have worked in the customer space, design, operations centers, access planning and now planning. I have found you will never know it all as it changes so quickly and is such a vast industry that opportunities abound for anyone willing to work hard and learn. I've also learned that family, friends and enjoying life are a must do as goes by so very quickly.
