I love watching an idea grow from a seed to a profitable enterprise that fills a community need and keeps a full team of people gainfully employed. I've spent the last 20 years learning the ins/outs of business, recently culminating in an acquisition of my company by T-Mobile. I hope to share some of the lessons I learned along the way, as well as continually learn through exposure to other types of businesses.

I'm passionate about product development and support - hardware, software and IT.
Specific areas of expertise:
- Process improvement tools and techniques
- Software development processes, infrastructure & tools
- Task tracking and team collaboration using Jira, Trello, Salesforce and similar platforms
- Configuration Management, Document management
- Knowledge base development (e.g., Wiki)
- Requirements management
- ISO and CMMI registration/certification
