RESUME
about me
Troubleshooter | Creative | Mechanic
I solve problems, drawing on a unique set of creative, technical, mechanical and management skills. I’ve helped lead tech start-ups to grow into major players by quickly understanding needs, making key decisions, and wearing the various hats required for success. My specialties are applying hands-on mechanical skills and managing projects in media production, training, AV technology implementation, and general fixing of things.
As a lifelong builder, maker, creator, instructor and motivator, I’m inspired to assist in solving complex problems, and helping people and organizations through collaboration and grit.
