About
Technical depth.
Customer focus.
Business perspective.
I’m a telecommunications and wireless professional with more than 25 years of experience spanning RF engineering, network architecture, technical sales, strategic accounts, and customer engagement.
My career has centered on translating complex technologies into practical solutions for Tier-1 carriers, public-safety organizations, utilities, government agencies, and critical-infrastructure customers. My technical foundation includes licensed microwave, RF propagation and spectrum analysis, IP/MPLS, Carrier Ethernet, wireless networking, and mission-critical communications.
I have supported major carrier and private-network programs from discovery and solution architecture through proposals, evaluations, acceptance, deployment, and long-term account development. My commercial experience also includes account management, prospecting, pipeline development, competitive capture, and quota performance.
I hold an MBA and bring an additional perspective from service in the U.S. Navy and from my current public-safety roles as a Fire Commissioner and firefighter. Those experiences give me firsthand insight into the operational realities behind resilient, mission-critical communications.
