Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had this unrelenting curiosity about how things work. I was the one always asking “Why?”- whether it was helping my dad change a flat tire or pestering my 4th-grade teacher about why “I” comes before “E” unless there’s a “C.” I’ve always needed to understand the mechanics behind everything. Not just accept how things are, but figure out why they work that way and if there’s a better way to do them. That same mindset carried into my career. Before getting into SaaS and HCM, I built bridges outside NYC where I worked my way up from apprentice to carpenter foreman in under four years. That world taught me a ton about creative problem-solving, efficiency, workflows and the importance of understanding the "Why" behind it all. I brought that same curiosity to Rippling where I take a consultative approach to understand how companies operate, uncover inefficiencies, and help leaders streamline HR, payroll, IT, and financial systems to make their lives easier, their businesses more efficient, and their operations scalable. If you’re frustrated with HR inefficiencies, payroll headaches, compliance risks, or IT onboarding that takes forever—you don’t have to be. I work with business leaders to streamline operations so they can focus on growth instead of putting out fires every day. I can’t promise to solve everything, but I’d love to connect and see if I can help.
