About Me

This is where everything I write comes from.

I’ve spent the last decade in IT support, with several years in service management and more than six years leading teams. That shaped how I think about leadership, operations, and the work that usually gets ignored until it breaks. I’ve seen what works. I’ve seen what fails. I’ve made mistakes, cleaned them up, and adjusted in real environments. That’s what shapes how I lead and how I think about the work.

Experience

Where This Comes From

I’ve learned this from doing the work.

From mistakes, from leading people, and from figuring things out in real environments, not theory.

What I write about is earned. It comes from experience, accountability, and the work itself.

This is what shaped how I lead today.

Support Desk Manager
2022 – Present

This is where most of my thinking around leadership and operations took shape. I manage the support desk—ticket flow, onboarding, equipment, purchasing, and the day-to-day coordination that keeps things moving. The biggest lesson from this role: reliability matters more than complexity. Support teams don’t break because the technology is hard. They break when communication falls apart and details slip through the cracks. My focus is clear expectations, closed loops, and consistent execution—turning support into a dependable system, not just a help desk, but a one-stop shop.

IT Service Desk Lead
2015 – 2022
This is where I learned the fundamentals. Day-to-day IT operations, infrastructure reliability, escalations, and the systems that keep an organization running. This is where I started to understand that good support is about consistency, not heroics. It’s not just about moving things quickly—it’s about building bridges across the company and starting to put better processes in place to support it.

An early look at enterprise-scale IT. Working at Qualcomm showed me what infrastructure operations look like when the stakes and scale are bigger—and that the fundamentals still matter at every level. It also pushed me to communicate clearly and move work efficiently in a large environment.
