Meet our Board Members
I strive to build long lasting relationships as a trust worthy partner within the industries I serve, trade
groups, friends and family by operating with Honesty, Integrity and delivering on my commitments
and promises.
Equally important is that I give back to the community that I play in by donating my time to volunteer
efforts, such as SHRA, TBTLA/Community Relations, AFCEA/Scholarships, YMCA/Coach and HDI

With over 25 years of technology leadership experience and as the Director of IT for the area’s
largest hunger relief organization I am always looking to make an impact on the community.
TBTLA provides a conduit in which I can mentor other technologists and prepare them for a
future leadership role in the technology industry. While not delving into technological issues I
also do enjoy relaxing in nature and am an avid fisherman.
