Vice President Product Management, nuBridges

When asked to write a brief bio to accompany my blogs, I couldn’t help but reflect back on milestones in my 18⁺-year IT journey. B. S. in computer and information sciences from the University of Florida (go Gators!!). First computer purchase in 1981 – you guessed it, the Osborne 1!

A decade working at Geac Computer Systems, Inc. (formerly Dun & Bradstreet Software and even earlier, it was known as MSA).   Several stints at start-ups during the dotcom boom (some would now say bust) – ever heard of ZapMedia? How about Idapta?  And the last seven years, I’ve been in product management at nuBridges. My journey has taken me from PCs to mainframes and everything in between. I’ve travelled during varying periods of time in customer support, development, product marketing and product management.

But I’m not all left-brained. I do have a creative side and I love to collaborate with real people, not just computers. One of my passions is to relate (in speeches, presentations and just casual conversations) highly technical concepts in non-technical and interesting ways. I love to solve technical issues/challenges with practical solutions. I guess you could say that’s really what we’re all about at nuBridges.

Well, I just can’t leave out what has been a constant in this wonderful journey. My family comes first – a wonderful wife and two great kids, a passion for family tree research including publishing multiple books and community service with Camp Sunshine, volunteering to spend a week of each summer as a counselor for children with cancer.
