The person behind the work

I walk the talk.
Including when it’s personal.

Mastercard and IBM taught me how systems work. Independent work, Uber Eats deliveries, and advocating for my family taught me what happens when they don’t.

My son Gavin’s reporting keeps me curious. No one in my life is immune from accountability—including me.
