I'm an entrepreneur who's been around the block several times in technical education startups. I've led two successful companies to the finish line and discovered that my true calling is creating learning experiences that leave a lasting impact.


Over the years, I've had the opportunity to transform the lives of thousands of learners in Fortune 500 companies, Universities, and coding bootcamps, taking them from zero to employment in tech careers. Today, I own and operate Skill Foundry. It’s direct-to-consumer, and for the first time, I’m able to offer the quality, rigor, and outcomes of what I do for individuals.
