Welcome

After college, I served in the US Air Force to repay my obligation for an ROTC scholarship, then moved into the corporate world.  I’ve worked in a variety of industries, primarily focused on high-tech – from doing emerging tech strategy at IBM to being a program manager for a software product at a 100-person startup, to running a 24/7 Network Operations Center at a cleantech operations / software company. 

For the past several years, I’ve been following a dream of working in sales, a functional area I’d long been intrigued by but hadn’t yet pursued.  I’ve done technology sales at IBM, at a boutique consulting firm, and at multiple tech startups.  I’m currently at a company called Armory, where we’re doing for software what ‘lean manufacturing’ did for manufacturing – helping companies reduce time-to-market, increase product quality and overall system stability.

Originally from Texas, I went to college at a small engineering school in Indiana (Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology), and eventually, came to Boston for to pursue an MBA at MIT Sloan School of Management.  I’d planned to move back to the South after graduation, but fell in love with Boston and can’t bring myself to leave (although the question does resurface every February in the dead of winter).
