About Me


For 15 years, I’ve been building IT teams, technology, and processes at early stage companies and non-profits. And I found most invest a massive amount of resources into operational functions.

Almost all companies encounter the same IT challenges. The solutions are our there, no need start from scratch to solve them! I created The IT Plan as a standardized, repeatable playbook to develop IT programs from scratch.

My philosophy is that technology is more cultural than it is technical. When you see IT through this lens, better solutions appear.
