About Me

Born and raised in St. Louis, I bring 27 years of experience developing Microsoft-based solutions across a variety of organizations. Outside of work I actively pursue pool/billiards, continually refining my skillset. I also work as a freelance photographer, shooting weddings and creative/conceptual portraits, with an emphasis on storytelling through creative lighting, and collaborative direction. I also find time to enjoy video games.
