GLAD TO MEET YOU
About Me
At the end of a 32-year career as an IT professional serving the U.S. Federal Government, I wanted to share my knowledge with a broader audience. I was especially concerned with the inability of many organizations to adapt their human capital strategies to the rapidly changing world of Information and Technology. I passionately believe that people, not automation or artificial intelligence, are what make Information and Technology truly valuable. I have assembled a body of knowledge and a network of peers that represent the absolute best and most recent theories and practices around I&T work and workers.
Mission
I help organizations understand and optimize the most important layer of any technology stack, human beings. Networks, servers, databases, and the applications that run on them all depend on people. My partners and I create custom strategies for hiring, retaining, training, and re-skilling Information and Technology staffs.
Vision
Information and Technology are essential to everything we make, sell, buy, and use. As technology advances at a breakneck pace, organizations and individuals struggle to keep up. The I&T skills that helped make an organization or individual successful are not enough to maintain excellence or even relevance in the future. I want I&T people to take ownership of their expertise. I want the companies that hire them to help them excel. This will not happen without some fundamental changes in the way most individuals and organizations think about their human capital. I want to enable that change.

I can help you build and implement a plan that will put the right people in the right place with the right skills. If you already have a human capital strategy and plan, let me help you tailor it to the future of Information and Technology.
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
Assessing and Improving
Engaged software engineers, developers, system administrators, and other I&T people create more value and make fewer mistakes. They are also more likely to want to remain part of your team. Let me assess where you are now and help you reap the benefits of an engaged staff.
COACHING
Managing and Leading
Management techniques that work for line and knowledge workers are often not as effective in the world of Information and Technology. I recognize the common differences and, more importantly, know how to identify unique situations. Let me guide your managers and leaders as they discover the best way to build great teams.
