Annual revenue of organizations I supported across legal, healthcare, manufacturing, and professional services — managing executive relationships, technology strategy, security initiatives, and complex infrastructure projects. Ranked #1 company-wide in Q4 2025 for recurring revenue and project sales.
Organizations inevitably face strategic inflection points: moments when debt, technology, markets, regulations, or customer expectations reshape how business is done. My passion is giving organizations leverage to handle these new realities. I believe durable competitive advantage comes from connecting disciplines that are usually kept apart — in my work, that means operating where client relationships, technology architecture, and financial analysis meet.
At CTN Solutions and NuMSP, I developed and managed relationships with a diverse portfolio of small and mid-sized businesses across the United States, supporting organizations ranging from 15 to more than 350 employees. Working with executives at leading architectural firms in Los Angeles, IT leaders at top-tier law firms in Philadelphia, and business owners of manufacturing plants in rural Pennsylvania, I developed firsthand experience translating business challenges into practical technical solutions that create lasting value. Beyond my primary role, I have also invested in and advised hospitality businesses generating more than $4 million in annual sales, working on operational planning, technology strategy, and revenue optimization.
Managed a portfolio of mid-market organizations spanning $6M to $100M+ in annual revenue across legal, healthcare, and manufacturing. Ranked #1 company-wide in Q4 2025 for recurring revenue and project sales.
Led enterprise infrastructure, cybersecurity, and cloud modernization initiatives, including the firm's first SASE deployment for a regulated law firm with integrated SIEM and SOAR and an Azure spin-down. Reduced a proposed $200,000 OEM network refresh to approximately $70,000 through technical discovery, vendor negotiation, and architectural redesign while maintaining business requirements. Architected enterprise network deployments featuring dual-homed ISP failover, wireless heatmapping, and multi-gig networking. Co-authored the CTN360 Trust managed GRC program aligned to NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and NIST 800-171, and standardized the firm-wide quarterly business review framework.
Brokered $200,000+ in private investment into a Philadelphia hospitality venue and advised on its audio and point-of-sale systems. Designed inventory financing and pour-cost revenue models for the operating business. Conducted equity research using DCF, reverse DCF, and scenario analysis; recent subjects include BlackRock and PayPal. Continue to consult in the hospitality industry on talent buying, employee compensation, and alternative revenue streams.
Joined a private-equity-managed MSP roll-up while it operated at a loss and contributed to the turnaround to profitability. Managed strategic accounts on both coasts and acted as a dedicated 24/7 escalation contact for client executives. Ran quarterly business reviews with a third-party CISO covering HIPAA, PCI DSS, CCPA and CPRA, and GDPR. Oversaw all net-new client acquisition for a period, running the full cycle from qualification to close, and closed the firm's first 100TB Datto solution alongside an enterprise Supermicro migration with VMware Horizon.
Exceeded quota by nearly 2x in a full-commission environment. Designed and sold residential networking and AV systems, managed projects past $40K end to end, and mentored the junior sales team.
Studied at Morehouse College while working in campus IT, supporting wireless networking, endpoint management, and infrastructure projects, including one of the country's earliest 802.11ac campus deployments. A medical withdrawal ended the degree before completion; the technical foundation carried into every role since.
Designed and deployed a personal hybrid AI environment across repurposed laptops, routing work between local inference and cloud subscriptions (Claude, Gemini) based on task complexity and cost. Researched, evaluated, and integrated the tooling across the stack — local model serving, a multi-agent workflow layer, observability, and a network-wide knowledge base. Built to understand firsthand the infrastructure, routing, and governance tradeoffs enterprises face when deploying AI at scale.
A capability-based security boundary that prevents AI agents from ever receiving raw credentials. Instead of returning a secret, the vault evaluates ABAC policy and executes the approved action on the agent's behalf, keeping credentials inside the vault entirely and limiting the blast radius of a compromised agent. I defined the threat model, security requirements, and system architecture, and led implementation; published with full threat-model documentation.
An audit layer that makes AI agent credential access non-repudiable. Signed access attempts are anchored to a chain before a secret is released, while delivery events are broadcast to a bus watched by a kill-switch monitor; a delivery with no matching attempt is treated as a compromised host. I designed the protocol architecture, security guarantees, and threat model, and led implementation. Pairs directly with rgt-vault.
An open-source valuation engine based on Aswath Damodaran's intrinsic valuation mechanics and Michael J. Mauboussin's probabilistic philosophy. It reverse-engineers a base case from the market expectations priced into a stock, then adjusts conviction against relative and intrinsic valuation.
Set up a serverless environment on Google Cloud to access Claude through Vertex AI, with function-based billing controls and quota limits — focused on the consumption-governance layer enterprises need to keep AI spend predictable.
An ongoing series on enterprise security strategy: Zero Trust, SASE, and field notes from client engagements.
A series arguing that the binding constraint in enterprise AI has shifted from model capability to organizational discipline, accountability, and judgment.
Sum-of-the-parts DCF with geographic-blended equity risk premiums, maintained through regulatory and rate developments.
Open to senior roles across security, solutions engineering, and enterprise technology, as well as advisory and consulting work. Available for onsite engagements in major US markets and for remote work.
