Born in San Framcisco. Raised at TIbbits Point Light House NY until I was 9.  Finished school is Southern California complete with surf and sun.  Started school as a wannabe EE and ended up moving into Telecommunications and getting my paper from UCI in 1999.   That lead to computer engineering which lead to computer networking which lead to network security. Now I run 3 teams as a Director Infrastructure Engineering. 

The whole computer side surprises many who knew me since I've been very mechanical for years and I used build and race a variety of cars from 1/4 mile to roundy rounds to autocross. 

Tesla is the perfect car for me at this time. I can use all my skills from computers to mechanics and I love the wealth of detailed information available.  Not to mention is one of the best cars I've ever owned for pure driving fun. 

I am a passionate physics geek and computer scientist. I currently work as a Principal Engineer with a focus in distributed systems and scaling data platforms. My professional career spans both research and development in automation and control systems, medical devices, robotics, semiconductor manufacturing, and machine learning (AI). Prior to my physics and computer engineering career, I served in the US Air Force specializing in electrical systems and power distribution. I am an avid reader, enjoys chess, and plays too many video games.
