Senior Infrastructure & Security Leader · Roswell, GA
I build things
that matter.
Teams. Systems. Occasionally, glove dryers.
20+ years leading network infrastructure and security operations at scale. Former Director of Network & Security Operations at The Weather Company. ISP co-founder. Lifelong tinkerer. I bring technology teams into alignment with business purpose. I believe the most powerful organizations are built on genuine human care.
What I Bring
Not just what I know. How I lead.
🏗️ Infrastructure at Scale
Network architecture that runs when it has to; BGP, OSPF, MPLS, enterprise firewalls, cloud infrastructure. Three decades of keeping complex systems alive and evolving.
🔐 Security & Compliance
Leading SOC 2 audit programs across enterprise product portfolios. The rare combination of infrastructure intuition and governance fluency that regulated industries actually need.
🤝 People-First Leadership
The most powerful organizations are built when people actually care about each other. That’s a compounding strategic advantage. I build teams that last.
Where My Mind Goes
Three threads I keep pulling on.
Outside of work, there are a few territories I keep returning to. They may not fit neatly together, but each one teaches me something the others can’t. Here’s where I write about them.
🔨 Ventures in Craftsmanship
Making things by hand. Guitars, shelves, piles of sawdust. The craft is the point. There’s a particular kind of thinking that only happens when your hands are busy. I write about what building teaches.
🧠 Curiosity as a Tool
What happens when you stop using AI as a shortcut and start using it as a thinking partner? The experiments get strange and interesting fast. I’m documenting what I find.
🌾 Roots & Values
My great-grandfather farmed land my family still works. That sense of stewardship that builds things to last and treats people right is the lens I see through.
