A quick introduction
I lead technology organizations by day and perform professionally as a musician by night. Those two paths weren’t planned to intersect, but over time they’ve shaped how I think about teamwork, systems, and the environments people rely on every day.
I’m drawn to complex settings, whether a large-scale technology platform or an orchestra, where preparation matters, collaboration is essential, and success depends on people listening to one another.
Musician
Alongside my technology career, I’ve maintained an active life as a professional musician. Music has been a constant in my life and continues to challenge me in ways that directly inform how I collaborate and lead.
As a French horn player, I perform with regional orchestras and ensembles, serving in both principal and section roles. Music reinforces habits that carry directly into my professional life: preparation and consistency, deep listening, knowing when to lead and when to support, and accountability to the group over the individual.
Where it comes together
Technology and music may look unrelated on the surface, but both demand discipline, empathy, and respect for the people around you. Whether I’m working with engineers or musicians, my goal is the same: to create environments where people can do their best work together.
This site reflects that overlap, professional and personal, and is very much a work in progress.
