Strategic program management leader, AI solutions developer and technology entrepreneur.
I lead complex projects. I build intelligent solutions.
Eighteen years running telecom and infrastructure programs, from tower tops to multimillion-dollar fiber buildouts. Now I build the software that keeps that kind of work on schedule.

Founder & AI Solutions Architect
MasTec
Ran the MNS Central Texas Program: multiple multimillion-dollar turnkey OSP fiber buildouts, alongside business-as-usual work and on-demand emergency services.
MasTec
Designed a Smartsheet program that let OSP field crews close out tasks from their phones, and gave every stakeholder the same live view.
Nexius
Took wireless network-integrity projects from initiation to closure: plans, budgets, vendors, procurement and regulatory compliance.
Ansco & Associates
Chosen to train construction managers, build crews and Tiger Teams on difficult installs, work that led to a zero-punch rating with AT&T.
I built my first Smartsheet program because field crews needed to close tasks from a phone. Everything I build now starts from that kind of problem.
