About

I am a highly motivated, highly skilled technology professional with over 9 years of experience in the field. I have been coaching and leading teams for over five years. 

I started with Scrum as a software engineer on a software team of four, and am now the manager and coach of multiple teams as our company has grown. We have accelerated the way we go about Scrum and are seeing the results of how this framework really works if you go about it in the right way. 

I have a beautiful wife who didn't know anything about software or Scrum before we started dating. She now knows how Scrum works and has even helped me code a few web pages!

A few things I'm passionate about:

  • Do what you love to do - if you can't say you love what you do then move on to something else.
  • Happiness is a choice - choose to be happy and life will be a lot more fun.
  • Build strong relationships - people are what drives success so why not make the most out of your time with them.

I love working with technology professionals and learning from individuals with extensive experience in the Agile world. The most rewarding knowledge comes from collaboration and working with other people to come up with ideas and ways to make each other more successful.
