Get To Know Me
I presently reside in Cincinnati, Ohio, my hometown, where I had the pleasure of meeting my wife during our childhood years in a bowling league. We rekindled our connection many years later through social media, and together, we are fortunate to have a combined total of five children and one grandchild.
In our free time we enjoy spending time boating, camping, fishing, and of course bowling.
Throughout my career, I have been exceptionally fortunate to achieve significant success within the distinctive realm of software licensing, starting many years ago during the critical period leading up to the Y2K challenge, directory services, the introduction of virtualization, and now a complex world of a multi-cloud world.
What is the best piece of advice I’ve been given?
In my high school days, my typing instructor offered a valuable insight: Seek out a profession in high demand yet often overlooked or unpopular and commit to excelling in it. This showcases confidence and proficiency, ultimately leading to increased responsibilities, opportunities, and trust.
Who inspires you and why?
It may seem cliché, it is undoubtedly my family. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been raised in an environment where love and unwavering support were the norm. With four siblings and parents who consistently went above and beyond to assist one another, they serve as a constant reminder of the importance of unity and selflessness in achieving success.
