IT Director · Louisville, KY Metro
Enterprise technology leader with 15+ years driving digital transformation across global manufacturing operations. Military veteran. Elected public servant. MBA. I build the systems, the teams, and the strategy — then I own the outcome.
I've spent 15 years at the intersection of enterprise technology and business strategy — managing infrastructure across 40+ global manufacturing sites, leading teams through large-scale migrations, and partnering with executive leadership to turn IT from a cost center into a competitive advantage.
Before that, I served six years in the United States Air Force — achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant through post-9/11 operational deployments. The discipline, mission ownership, and team-first culture forged in that environment are foundational to how I lead today.
I also served four years as an elected City Councilman representing New Albany's 5th District, overseeing a $30M+ annual municipal budget and championing the digital transformation of public services. Public accountability isn't a line item on my resume. It's a way of operating.
My MBA in IT Management is the framework I apply every day. I speak the language of the boardroom and the server room — and I bridge both with clarity, ownership, and an unrelenting focus on results.
