Experienced executive fostering growth and efficiency.

My Background Story
I grew up as the oldest of three children in Morgan City, Louisiana — a small Cajun town built around the oilfield industry, where the swamps and bayous were my backyard. I left for Baton Rouge to attend LSU, joined Delta Tau Delta fraternity, made friendships that have lasted a lifetime, and never looked back. For over 35 years, Baton Rouge has been where I've built my career, raised my family, and invested deeply in my community. I've been blessed with 36 years of marriage, two wonderful adult children, and a faith life anchored at St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church. Away from work, you'll find me cheering on the Tigers — especially LSU Baseball and Football — or on the basketball court working on my reliable 15 foot baseline jump shot. I'm surrounded by the same people who have had my back since college and a lot more that I met along the journey. I believe the relationships you build and the communities you serve define you as much as anything on your resume. That belief has guided everything I've done — in the boardroom, on the radio, in the classroom, and in the community.
Executive Leader
Tech Translator
Entrepreneur.
- Executive Operations: From P&L to process design, I build operations that scale — leaner, faster, and more profitable. - Technology Strategy: Expertise in cybersecurity posture, cloud infrastructure, and network architecture working with businesses across Louisiana and the Gulf South. - Growth & Sales Leadership: From growing MRR by 1,500% at a regional MSP to managing $225K of monthly recurring revenue in enterprise accounts across Louisiana and Texas.. - Strategic Communication: Whether it's a C-suite strategy session or a live radio broadcast, I make make sense of the technology in a clear and understandable way.
How I Lead
I believe that technology should never be a silo; it is the engine of operational efficiency. As a Chief Operating Officer and Technology Executive, I focus on building high-performing cultures and optimizing workflows through clear accountability, smart systems, and people-first culture. Whether I'm scaling an MSP, hardening an enterprise's security posture, or leading an AI integration, the goal is always the same: sustainable, scalable growth.
Building Teams That Perform
Great technology means nothing without great people behind it. Throughout my career — from startups to enterprise MSPs — I've built and led sales and operations teams that consistently outperform. I don't just manage people; I develop them, align them around clear goals, and create cultures where accountability and growth go hand in hand


Over 35 years, I've built a reputation that extends well beyond the boardroom — as a technology voice in the media, a civic leader, and a trusted advisor across Louisiana's business community. That visibility isn't accidental; it's the result of consistently showing up, delivering results, and investing in the communities where I work and live.
