My Journey
I have had a wonderful career of innovation in public safety, public service and informatics. I have a unique blend of private and public sector service, across a wide spectrum of web and mobile technologies, including a healthy dose of legal, policy and project management experience in the U.S. Government. I fought fires, ate smoke and gave care when seconds counted for 10 of my younger years as an Emergency Medical Technician and volunteer firefighter.
Recently, I have started focusing more on sharing my experiences and perspectives on the field of Informatics. I want to find the best ways to bring together people, technology and information to serve society and accomplish good things. I also want to give back to others, because over the years, the internet is what allowed me to grow and be successful in my own career.
