Professional Summary

Engineering Manager with 25+ years of JavaScript expertise and a track record of building high-performing teams across Fortune 500 companies, startups, and family businesses. Currently leading engineering at Avoya Travel, where I drive AI adoption, mentor developers, and guide product development across web and mobile platforms.

I wrote my first lines of code at 8 years old. Built my first application in 1992, in Pascal on a Mac, a grading application for my first mentor, Phil Abalon. Graduated from Purdue University in 1997 as one of the first student web developers employed by the School of Liberal Arts.

Founded NPSRS, LLC to build custom smart home solutions for Control4 and SmartThings platforms. Co-founded the Open-Dash project. Joined Hubitat, Inc. as Head of Product and Business Development, helping take the company from stealth to a leading home automation platform. Built core hub UI/UX, Hubitat Dashboard, Maker API, and many foundational apps and drivers.
Joined Avoya Travel in 2019 as a Senior Front-End Engineer and was promoted to Engineering Manager. Leading the frontend team, championing AI-augmented development practices, and driving product development for web and cross-platform mobile applications.
Outside work I enjoy playing tennis and golf, spending time with my family, and continuous learning. I volunteer at my church and serve on the board of several non-profit charities.
