I’m a Technical Consultant at PGTEK, where I help enterprise and government clients design, deploy, and modernize private cloud environments using VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), Aria Automation, and Kubernetes. My focus is on building secure, scalable infrastructure solutions that streamline operations and enable digital transformation across hybrid environments.
Before joining PGTEK, I served five years as a U.S. Army Infantry Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, where I developed a deep respect for precision, reliability, and teamwork under pressure. I was honored to be named Paratrooper of the Year (2023)—selected from more than 18,000 paratroopers—and awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for leadership and performance.
During my military-to-technical transition, I completed PGTEK’s SkillBridge program, earning multiple VMware Certified Professional (VCP) and Kubernetes certifications while developing practical, deployment-focused expertise aligned with real customer environments. My background combines strong technical proficiency with the discipline and communication skills required to deliver mission-critical results for clients.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about continuous learning and professional growth—whether that’s learning to code for automation, exploring container orchestration, or mentoring other veterans pursuing careers in IT. I believe great engineering starts with curiosity, clarity, and collaboration.
