I'm a space nut, IT Director, Digital Design & Computer Science Professor, author, and speaker. Sign up for my newsletter to get motivation and creative advice that is sure to inspire and build your leadership skills. I've discovered that being a technical leader isn't easy. The transition from Geek to Leader isn't easy, and its something takes perspective and purpose to get it right.

I've been blessed to have a wonderful family, great job and unbelievable church. I'm a fan of life long learning, slow running, and continuous improvement.

If you were to find a copy of my resume you might find some of these skills listed on it. You're not likely to find an actual copy of my resume anywhere because I'm not looking for anything new right now. I love my job and the side hustles I'm currently working on.

Right now I'm an IT Director leading applications, systems, network and support teams. I love managing and leading creative thinkers, tech geeks and super smart and passionate people. I've learned so much from my team and I hope they can say the same thing from me. At my current role, our mission is to Make Life Easier

One of my passions is teaching. I've been teaching at the college level for more than 12 years now. My courses range for Digital Information Design, to Computer Science, to Network security and even some C# and SQL from time to time. My favorite subjects to teach are those involving creative thinking and developing leadership skills.

As a hobby, I build iPhone and Android apps, write books, create websites, mentor and speak publicly about leadership and motivation. I'm currently hosting a podcast called "A Geek Leader." I recently gave a TEDx Talk on Motivating Creatives at TEDx Hickory.
