About Me

Mission: Building resilient IT foundations for small businesses and the students who power them.

I'm an East Texas native, VIP Clouds MSP technician/administrator, and a CompTIA instructor working to turning a career pivot into a playbook for others. I love translating complex infrastructure into clear actions for both clients and new technologists.

Family & community roots

Born and raised in East Texas, now raising two boys (13 and 7) with my wife. Local schools, youth sports, and church projects keep service at the center of my work.

Current mission

Partnering with VIP Clouds, LLC to protect and modernize small-to-medium business environments across Dallas-Fort Worth.

How I work

Lead with listening, translate with empathy, and leave every client or student with a playbook they can actually run.

Making the leap

When the COVID-19 pandemic cashed out my banking contract early, I doubled down on a lifelong dream of working in IT. That setback became the launchpad for the most fulfilling work of my career.

Earning it the hands-on way

I completed the CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ track to document what I already knew I could deliver: calm, process-driven service for stakeholders who depend on uptime.

Teaching the next wave

Since 2022 I've taught ITF+, A+, Network+, Security+, and CySA+ courses, helping career changers place their first help-desk roles or advance into security operations.
