Let's connect.
If you're working on enterprise transformation, AI-enabled operations, cybersecurity culture, or technology leadership challenges — and you'd like a thinking partner who's been in the messy middle of all of it — I'd welcome the conversation.
Ways to reach me
Best for professional outreach, introductions, and ongoing conversation. I check it regularly and respond.

Best for substantive notes — a paragraph about what you're working on is plenty. I read everything; I respond when I have something useful to say.

What I'd love to hear about
I get the most out of conversations when there's a real question on the table. Things I'm especially interested in talking about right now:
AI adoption in mission-driven organizations
Especially the messy middle — how to introduce AI without eroding the trust and culture that makes the organization worth working in.
Cybersecurity culture, not just cybersecurity tools
Phishing simulations, NIST frameworks, board-level security conversations, and how to build a security posture that staff actually internalize.
Long-tenure perspective on technology leadership
What changes when you stay long enough to see your decisions land — and what 21 years inside a single organization taught me about the difference between change and theater.
Speaking, panels, and writing collaboration
I've sat on panels (Leading Caterers of America Executive Summit, Nov 2025) and I publish on systems thinking. If you're putting together a conversation that needs a practitioner's voice, get in touch.
A note about response time:
I'm a working IT director with a real day job. I'm honest about response time — usually within a few days, sometimes longer if I'm in a deep work block. If something is genuinely time-sensitive, say so in the subject line and I'll prioritize.
