As Director of Operational Technology, I have the privilege of leading a talented team at the forefront of OT infrastructure and cybersecurity — focused specifically on the unique challenges of the plant floor. My role centers around directing our Technology Center of Excellence, where we innovate, implement, and refine solutions that help manufacturers operate more securely and efficiently.With over two decades of experience in operational technology, I’ve been fortunate to help build and lead a world-class team driven by one goal: helping clients solve real manufacturing problems with practical, scalable technology.We\'ve designed and delivered solutions in areas including- Endpoint services tailored for industrial environments - Network and virtualization architecture and deployment - Server and workstation hardening to support secure-by-design operationsI’m passionate about bridging the gap between IT and OT, and ensuring that cybersecurity is not just an add-on, but a built-in part of how modern manufacturing works. I believe that strong partnerships, continuous learning, and a people-first approach are key to long-term success in this evolving space.Outside of work, I’m a proud dad of an adult son and two young girls. Whether I’m running between ballet rehearsals and show choir performances or clearing my head on a solo bike ride, I value the moments that keep me grounded and focused on what really matters: family, consistency, and showing up every day.Let’s connect if you’re passionate about operational technology, cybersecurity, or driving innovation on the plant floor.

   I have had the honor to work with a small team at Interstates to develop our first Employee Resource Group focused on the support of the Military Veterans in our organization. We have been able to achieve our goals around Veteran hires and retentions earning us the Gold Medallion award. We continue to find new ways to support new Veterans as well with a mentorship program to align them with someone with more experience in the company and working in the civilian sector.
