    About

    Data leader, architect, technologist, and evangelist. Over 25 years of progressive Data, Analytics, and Management experience.

    I recently packaged up the expertise that I've developed into a new venture, Vantadata, LLC (https://vantadata.co). Through Vantadata, I partner with clients to solidify and accelerate their data & analytics practices, organizations, and capabilities through modernization, delivery, and coaching.

    As a technologist and leader, my job is to help empower organizations with best practices, architectures, and technologies to leverage their data as a true asset. When companies utilize their data assets to their full extent, the results can truly be transformational.
