About Me & This Project

Despite successful work in sales, I wanted to add to my skillset. I wanted to be able to build, to create, to manage real things. I set out to learn the most emerging technology in the world today -- the cloud! I quickly began studying AWS and its cloud offerings. I am on pace to complete the Solutions Architect Associate Certification and built this website fully on AWS to get hands-on experience and prepare me for future jobs in the Cloud space. I am open to all positions depending on fit, especially in DevOps, CloudOps, Sales Engineering, Software Engineering or similar! Email, text or call and let's chat!

I've got a strong background in sales, knocking it out of the park in several different roles. Before that, I was a football coach. I've coached at the highest levels of high school football in the entire country and coaching at the Division-One College level. I'm addicted to excellence and will try to outwork anyone to achieve it.
