About Me

I’m a Project Person

I’m a PMP with an MFA in poetry and deep technical ability. As an experienced generalist I command expertise in a variety of key domains.

Three things mean everything to me:

Foster meaningful change within the org
Nurture what’s good in the outside world
Learn from people smarter than me
