Welcome
Greetings! This web site is the home of my resume, blog, and selected professional resources. As you can probably assess at a quick glance, I am perpetually curious, and am always learning new things.
In my professional career, I’ve worked in technology and management for over 25 years. I am passionate about building, transforming, and leading great organizations, and take great joy in guiding my direct reports to become leaders of their own teams. I have a proven record of building leaders.
I have led organizations in launching global technology and media for Disney, ABC, Hear Music, ESPN, and Amazon. It is a joy to share this adventure with great colleagues, and I take a people-first approach to leading teams.
Leadership is not just management
Management is a collection of skills, and is the crucial foundation of a good organization. Leadership is a philosophy, and requires constant learning and presence of focus; it is what differentiates the highest performing organizations.
How can you tell the difference?
- When you interact with a great manager, you will feel they are important and valuable.
- When you interact with a great leader, you will feel you are important and valuable.
Music is dialog
I’ve been a professional musician for over 40 years, and love to share music with friends all over the world. I have dozens of recording and composition credits, and have performed literally thousands of shows worldwide. Performing music live with others is a living dialog, and is dependent on hearing and valuing that which is happening around you.
Focus on the subject
I am an avid photographer, shooting on full-frame Canon digital cameras and Canon “L” series lenses. I work professionally as a concert / event photographer, and enjoy the excitement of capturing spontaneous and candid moments. Travel photography is a joy, and I’ve taken tens of thousands of photographs in my global adventures.
Always be curious
As a former high school teacher, I have a deep appreciation for the inspiration that comes from a lifetime of learning. Everything is a lesson, and should be shared.
