Over the last 15 years, I have been designing networks and building IT divisions along with managing computer systems for an array of employers and consulting clients. An accomplished leader and network designer, my vision and expertise has proven to be an asset to the organizations and also driven efficiency enhancements for stakeholders.

Rising from the bottom to the head of a specialist division of the Computer Services Department with one of the fastest growing universities in Texas, and again rising from the bottom, to become part of the executive leadership of one of the most powerful law firms in Texas, I have proven my ability to function under pressure and still rise to the top.

My unique outlook on IT operations gives me the needed edge to stay ahead of the curve with business and operational performance. Normally underutilized concepts of business and IT dashboards have helped to keep me abreast of upcoming trends or issues. My proactive approach to responsibilities and the needs of stakeholders makes me an asset in the IT field within South Texas.
