Biography

I live through a guiding principle to always strive to increase the ability of those around him.  I have embraced the thought of “how will this situation become better because I am present in it?”  My experiences, career achievements and personal life all reflect this principle.

I spent his childhood years in a suburb of Seattle, WA along the shore of Lake Washington.  Beginning in elementary school, I began learning the importance of servicing customers by being a “paper boy” for local newspapers.  The focus on customer service carried further into all aspects of my later professional life.

After graduating from Inglemoor High School, I earned an Associate of Arts degree from Shoreline Community College and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Seattle University.  After some time in the full time workforce, I continued my formal education earning a Masters in Business Administration degree from Northwest University in Kirkland, WA.

During recent years, I had successfully expanded the West and South Central Area financial engineering sales consulting practice at NetApp.  This practice resulted in significant increases in total sales impact through the practices of developing customer centered TCO/ROI business cases, financial structuring, strategic customer planning and customer engagements.  My efforts with the financial engineering practice earned him the FY2015 West Area MVP award.  This honor is the highest award presented to non-sales role within the area.

Prior to NetApp, I spent more than 17 years in enterprise IT organizations in the wireless communications industry with Verizon Wireless (AirTouch), AT&T and T-Mobile.  I gained experiences ranging from software development and encoding through data center infrastructure management and finance during this time.  I served as Manager of Enterprise Storage Solutions for T-Mobile, USA where I managed more than 20PB of EMC, HDS and HP storage, implemented data mobility infrastructure spanning 6 US cities and increased return of investment by more than 50% by focusing on storage efficiency and cost reduction.

I currently serve as Manager of Client Strategy at Nutanix focusing on serving customers using financial analysis and business acumen. This role is both challenging and stretching as technology is ever-changing and business needs for technology ever-growing. This blog is to help readers grow with ideas and thoughts which are stretching me. It is my hope that we can learn and grow together.
