I've been in IT for over 35 years, and have done everything from pulling cable to being a CIO / CTO across startups to the Fortune 50.

I have spent the majority of my career in the data space, in Global Development & Operations of mission critical OLTP, Decision Support, and OLAP solutions spanning multiple industry verticals. I've worked with almost every DB platform over that span (Oracle/Exadata, SQL Server, DB2, Sybase, Netezza, PostgresSQL, and many others that have long been forgotten). My expertise was in performance tuning DBs, and have presented at regional and international User Group Conferences since the early 1990's.

I love solving problems, and helping others be successful in this space.

I was a Snowflake customer for 2 years, fell in love with the product, and joined the company in early 2021 as a lead in the Professional Services - Migrations Team.
