I am a hard worker, quick learner, and I enjoy solving problems. At Nielsen Audio and Arbitron I was the answer man for all things IT for the sales organization, including white glove support for the C-level executives. I welcome problems that others can't solve. I work well with people. I care about my job and take a lot of pride in doing it well. I have very strong documentation skills. I think logically and try to think outside of the normal solutions to solve problems and try to solve them as simply as possible, leaving a trail behind to allow for others to pick up on what I have done should they need to. I am an Excel guru with advanced knowledge and experience including VBA.

I’m curious. I love to learn and explore - I have always enjoyed “connecting the dots” in life…… providing business solutions to my clients, guiding students who’ve reached out, or offering travel recommendations to friends and colleagues…… I’m passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with my family, friends, clients and students. Pride that you can count on me. Willing to make the effort it takes to stay connected, and I hope that those I care about feel the same way. I’ve loved coaching (at work, or on the soccer field), developing talented people and providing career guidance. There’s a high level of satisfaction seeing the trajectory of those I worked with or helped train, manage or mentor take their talents to new levels. Possess significant experience in creating and executing sales strategies, and managing P&L. Natural ability to understand and navigate complex organizations, and develop partnerships and work closely with C-Level clients. 2022 launched a life and career pivot - My time at Google was special. Making the decision to leave was only made easier by new opportunities to grow, and give back by sharing my experience in and out of the classroom. Proud to be a Google “G-Values” Winner; nominated by peers, and recognized for exemplifying the Google values. Do the right things, the right way. Outside of work, I enjoy spending family time, riding the emotional roller coaster of Philadelphia sports (still basking in the glory of the Eagles Super Bowl victory!), and traveling - visited 36 countries and 39 states - with so much more to experience! I’m inspired by the travels of Anthony Bourdain, the “never thought of it that way” writing/podcasts of Malcolm Gladwell, the comedy of Ricky Gervais and the music of Sting, Elvis Costello, Morrissey, The Pet Shop Boys and Morrissey (and others). That would be one hell of a dinner party!
