I’ve always clicked on About Me pages, too — so thanks for stopping by.
I’m a serial entrepreneur and technology leader now semi-retired and running multiple ventures. After six years leading network operations at The Walt Disney Studios, I’ve returned to what I love most: building and operating my own companies while selectively advising others.
Currently I’m Fractional CTO at Equivalent Smart Graphics, an AI-powered accessible SVG solutions company. I’m also exploring new ventures and taking on select consulting engagements in leadership, AI/ML, and network architecture.
I’m an inventor on U.S. Patent No. 12,360,789, applying machine learning to optimize cloud networking file transfers, and recipient of the Disney Inventor Award for AI-driven network automation.
I’ve founded and operated 5+ companies across technology, aviation, photography, and retail:
These ventures taught me that technology is only part of the equation. Success comes from understanding customers, managing risk, building teams, and executing relentlessly.
Between entrepreneurial ventures, I spent 25+ years in corporate technology roles. At Disney, I unified fragmented operations teams, cut outages by 97%, and introduced AI/ML into production environments. At Sohonet, I interconnected top film and media companies worldwide with BGP/MPLS solutions spanning four continents.
I still enjoy getting hands-on with design and tools. You’ll find some helper scripts and snippets on my GitHub gists.
I served as President of Avitus Aviation Corp and remain a licensed pilot. Aviation underscored how process and procedures aren’t bureaucracy — they’re what save lives. Checklists, crew resource management, and a no-fault culture of safety translate remarkably well into technology leadership and consulting.
Outside of work, I cycle, tinker with embedded electronics, and build hobby projects. I’m drawn to both digital and analog worlds — from micropython on ESP32 chips to vacuum tube experiments.
I’ve also been a Cisco-certified engineer and an international award-winning photographer, reflecting the breadth of my interests.
