About

Built for the climb

From Navy communications to MSP help desks to senior Azure architecture — then coaching engineers through the John Maxwell Team. I write and teach for people who still work the queue.

Photography, fiction, and life with multiple sclerosis sit beside the cloud work. Adaptability isn’t a slide deck — it’s daily practice.
