ABOUT ME

I grew up on a farm in the eastern part of Tennessee in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. My family has been living in that area for over 9 generations so it was tough to leave when I moved to Nashville to expand my career possibilities. I’ve been living in Nashville for over 15 years and love the area and the people here.

MY CAREER

A software developer by trade, I spent the first 7 years of my career working in small startups, freelancing, and I even ran my own web development business for a time. Moving to Nashville put me into corporate America where I lead an engineering team in the healthcare industry that processed billions of dollars in medical claims each year. Adventure was calling, however, and I decided to move on from healthcare. I shifted to dedicated management roles where I built several scrum teams and many applications in the machine learning space. I’ve since managed large software engineering portfolios with a focus on modernization, containerization, and cloud-deployments. It’s my goal to build a world-class engineering department here at IAS.
