I still like
building the thing.
My career started at a mall kiosk in Spokane. Over 20 years at Verizon, I rose to Associate Vice President of Solutions Architecture for National Technical Sales, leading more than 450 people across technical sales and customer success.
That experience taught me to connect the business decision, the customer, and the people doing the work. Today, I bring that perspective to AI strategy and hands-on building.
