About Me

My career has included running my own software development company, being a staff expert that included roles as an IT Director for a oil and gas company, to a  consulting career at HP and then Microsoft. In all of this, I've found that managing my time and energy is crucial.

I wrote about successfully overcoming burnout in order to equip my team members to achieve a successful and joyful work life. 

I find that this has been the greatest accelerator of productivity for all the teams I've managed.

While the burnout I write about was very  real, so was the broad array of accomplishments over the depth and breadth of my career. 

I've written extensive customer thought leadership papers and presented at industry events on topics including business-IT alignment through strategy and execution, IT Service Management, building technology organizations and software development.

I bring teams a depth of software engineering guidance that accelerates business results.
