About me

I was born in Lexington, Missouri. My journey has been shaped by a deep sense of responsibility and a passion for technology and innovation. Scouting was a big part of my early life. As an Eagle Scout, I developed leadership skills early on, and that drive has followed me throughout my career.

After graduating from DeVry University in 1985, I started my professional life working with a variety of office technologies—fax machines, calculators, cash registers, dictation machines, and typewriters. These early experiences sparked my interest in technology and set the stage for my future in the technology industry.

In the years that followed, I transitioned into the fintech sector, where I spent the majority of my career selling and servicing financial solutions. Eventually, I began selling core software solutions to banks and was fortunate enough to be part of a company that developed the first check imaging software solutions for the Federal Reserve in the late 1990s.

Currently, I serve as the Vice President of Sales at C&A Associates, based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, The Kansas City area is where I currently make my home. In this role, I oversee a talented team of sales reps who provide innovative solutions to banks and credit unions. In addition to that, C&A has devoloped software that tracks crime scene evidence using RFID technology a solution my company has three patents for.

A few years ago, I took advantage of a scholarship program with Arizona State University (ASU). Inspired to further my education, I enrolled and am now in my final semester. I’m excited to share that I will be graduating in May of this year with a Bachelor's degree in Organizational Leadership.

Throughout my career and personal endeavors, I’ve always been driven by the desire to solve complex challenges and help my clients succeed. I’m proud of the work I’ve done, the progress I’ve made, and the learning opportunities that continue to shape my future.
