– About Me

"Software development – driving productivity and improving employee morale"

The majority of my career has been spent in software development, both as a programmer and, most recently, in management. I have managed teams at both the manager and senior manager levels and have extensive experience managing teams in remote geographical locations, both in the contiguous US and abroad. I'm known for simultaneously driving productivity and improving employee morale – elements which are normally believed to be mutually exclusive. During my programming career, I have specialized in developing C/C++ and Java software applications in the fields of aerospace, high performance computing (HPC), manufacturing, and medicine. I hold a software patent in 3D graphics and have a degree in Engineering from Brigham Young University.


"Work hard, play hard"

My passion outside of work is cycling, both Mountain Bike and Road. I hold an international racing license and participate in 15-20 races through out the Spring and Summer. I train year round and use a periodized training system employing the latest training techniques.

"Family is the foundation of success"

I have a wife and three kids – they are my inspiration.

– Management Philosophy

It's possible for every manager to simultaneously achieve both high employee morale and high productivity from their teams. Far too many managers believe that these attributes are mutually exclusive. They are not. The whitepaper below outlines my management approach and philosophy for achieving high employee morale and record breaking productivity:
