Tell us a little about yourself.
I am the husband to an amazing wife and a father to a brood of curious and adventurous children. I love to brew beer on the weekends when I am not playing with my kids. My favorite past times are going to Museums, Farmers Markets, or gardening at home. I enjoy reading philosophy and politics books, and getting into deep conversations on new ideas and inventions in the world.
How did you get started in IT?
I started in IT when I was young and built my first computer with my father, but my passion for it took off when I managed a school's IT team and learned to implement IT solution for teachers and students. Ever since then I have taken to learning as much as I can about IT and cybersecurity to better help those around me.
Why did you choose to work at Velo?
Velo is a company driven to make sure the customer succeeds and the end users are not overwhelmed with their IT needs. Their drive to help other and bring them into the fold was something that I was looking for and I knew it was a great company to grow with.
What do you consider your greatest strength?
Perseverance is one of the greatest virtues I have been given. I have come to realize that being uncomfortable will help you grow and become a better person, all that you need to do is be willing to stick through the most difficult times.
