My passion is bridging the gap between technical depth and business impact — where ideas get pressure-tested, shaped, and turned into real measurable impact. What I bring: - 20+ years deep in Collaboration, Networking, and the emerging AI landscape- A track record of translating technical complexity into accelerating business outcomes- 100+ industry certifications including CCIE and MCSE- 4th person across all of Cisco to earn the GenAI Black Belt — the most challenging expert-level AI certification in the industry I speak at industry and customer events — driven by helping customers and partners unlock the art of the possible. Outside of tech, I'm a volunteer Olympic-style wrestling coach and an award-winning travel photographer. Grit, creativity, and giving back to the next generation are my fuel.
