About

I support electric utilities across Alabama, Florida, and Georgia as they modernize metering infrastructure, improve operational visibility, and prepare for the future of the grid. My focus is not just technology, but long-term partnership. Successful AMI deployments require more than meters and networks, they require strong communication, dependable service, thoughtful planning, and solutions that align with each utility’s operational goals and culture. At Landis+Gyr, I work closely with electric cooperatives, municipalities, and public power utilities to support AMI strategy, deployment planning, grid modernization initiatives, and ongoing account management. I also collaborate closely with distributor partners, technical teams, project management, and customer leadership to help ensure projects are successful from initial evaluation through long-term operation. I believe the best utility partnerships are built on trust, responsiveness, and a genuine understanding of customer needs. My approach centers around three core principles: partnership, service, and technology.
