About Me

My career in Information Technology is fueled by a passion for problem-solving and a commitment to my community here in the Yukon. In my role with the territorial government, I leverage a broad skill set encompassing data storage technologies, virtualization, cloud computing, modern applications, and disaster recovery/resiliency.

When I'm not working with technology, I'm either on the soccer field or exploring the territory's stunning wilderness by hiking in the summer and snowboarding in the winter. I'm a firm believer that active engagement builds a stronger community, a principle I put into practice through my volunteer work with local organizations.

I am always open to connecting with others. If you'd like to chat about technology, have an exciting opportunity to discuss, or are seeking mentorship, please feel free to reach out, the first coffee is on me.
