About

Executive judgment, engineer's hands.

I've spent my career as the person organizations call when the technology has to work. That has meant running IT across 23 manufacturing sites in the U.S. and abroad, building and exiting a wireless ISP, sitting on a fiber operator's leadership team, and serving as VP of Technology and Fractional CTO for 5G, IoT and connectivity companies.

Today I'm founder and CTO of Infinihash LLC, a product company that builds and operates KYT/KYC compliance software and the MyAi distributed AI compute network on its own audited deployment platform and GPU infrastructure.

I'm most useful where strategy and execution meet: setting the roadmap with the executive team, then making sure the network, the platform and the people actually deliver it.

Based in Fenton, Michigan. Open to executive roles, fractional leadership and advisory work, remote or in the Midwest.
