President & CEO, Innovator, Family Man

At the heart of every technological advancement and business growth, there's a story of passion, dedication, and the human touch. My story weaves these elements into a journey from a technology engineer to the President and CEO of a flourishing technology solutions provider.

Raised in the beautiful state of Minnesota, my life is a blend of professional ambition and rich personal experiences. As a father of nine, with six adopted children, my family is a tapestry of love and diversity. We navigate the joys and challenges of life with three special needs children, embracing the uniqueness each one brings. My children, some living with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, and effects from fetal alcohol exposure, teach me daily about resilience, perspective, and unconditional love.

My journey in technology began with a deep-seated curiosity about how things work, leading me from engineering roles to the pinnacle of leadership as a CTO, and eventually, in 2020, to the role of President/CEO. Since taking the helm, I have spearheaded our company's growth, doubling its size in three years. This growth is not just a metric but a testament to our focus on people - from empowering team members to solving customer challenges with innovative solutions.

Outside of work, I find solace in retro gaming and electronics, hobbies that keep me connected to the roots of technology. I am also a voracious learner, constantly fueling my growth through books, classes, audiobooks, and podcasts. This thirst for knowledge isn't just for personal gain; it's a tool I use to drive our company forward, ensuring we stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry.

I believe leadership is as much about fostering growth in others as it is about guiding a company to success. My focus on people - be it my family, team, or customers - is the cornerstone of my approach to business and life. It's about creating an environment where innovation thrives, challenges are met with creative solutions, and everyone's journey is valued.
