Began my project management journey supporting Hospitality IT and manufacturing distribution projects while attending Santa Clara University. Graduating with a degree in Economics I was drafted by Major League Soccer, playing professionally in San Jose, and Charleston SC. Retiring from professional soccer in 2000 I began managing technical projects for ADP (Automatic Data Processing) focused on business process engineering related to Sales Order to Cash, CRM (Salesforce), and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Programs. In 2010 I joined an Oracle consulting firm building a PMO resulting in the sale of the firm. Currently I am a partner and Sales Leader for The PMO Squad, a Project Delivery Solution provider. In my role I am responsible for attracting new clients and engaging in the planning and delivery of project strategy, talent, and training/coaching solutions. In my spare time I enjoy volunteering, traveling with my family,  and coaching/playing soccer.  

I am an experienced technical program and service delivery manager, specializing in telecommunications, infrastructure, and service management.  Adaptable, caring, and forthright, I bring integrity and compassion to my work.  Follow-through and follow-up are my forte when managing people, business, programs, or projects.  Dependable, honest, knowledgeable, and always respectful, with an intense and inexhaustible work ethic exhibited over three decades of experience in technology, including federal, state, local government, and international assignments. 

A ten-year member of the Phoenix Chapter of PMI, I maintain my PMP certification, a Master’s in Technical Project Management, as well as a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and an Associates in Telecommunications Engineering Technology.   

My vision for the Phoenix Chapter PMI Board of Directors is to provide a more widely known footprint within the Phoenix area.  To broadcast the value of Project Management as a whole, PMI as an organization and the Phoenix Chapter as the first resource for local members or those simply wanting to learn more about the craft. 

I have many ideas I would like to submit for consideration on ways to expand the chapter’s reach through local businesses.
