About

I’m a Senior Sales Engineer and Security Consultant who helps organizations solve complex, high-stakes problems by combining technical mastery, operational risk insight, and enterprise-level solution design. I thrive at the intersection of product expertise, pre-sales, and high-stakes operational execution, delivering measurable impact for enterprise clients. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with some of the largest construction, infrastructure, and enterprise organizations in the country, designing perimeter security and AI-driven detection systems while ensuring compliance with builders risk insurance and operational realities. I bring a rare combination of technical insight, rapid product mastery, and the ability to translate complexity into actionable solutions for executives and teams. I specialize in: • Enterprise Sales Engineering & Solutions Validation – mastering complex products, leading demos, and enabling multimillion-dollar deals • Security Systems & Risk Mitigation – designing physical, electronic, and AI-assisted security systems for high-value, high-stakes projects • Operational Planning & Contingency Execution – managing critical travel, high-risk environments, and emergency response planning • Cross-Functional Leadership – aligning sales, engineering, and operations to prevent risks, accelerate projects, and drive client satisfaction • Compliance & Builders Risk Expertise – ensuring systems meet regulatory, insurance, and practical deployment requirements Whether it’s designing secure systems for stadiums, infrastructure projects, or enterprise facilities, supporting pre-sales initiatives, or advising on risk mitigation in high-stakes environments, I combine hands-on experience, strategic insight, and a results-driven mindset to deliver solutions that work in the real world. I’m currently open to senior Sales Engineering, Solutions Engineering, consulting, and advisory opportunities where I can leverage my expertise to drive revenue, optimize solutions, and deliver measurable enterprise impact.
