A career built around capability, service, and transformation.

I am an enterprise AI, research technology, and organizational transformation leader with more than 25 years of experience across higher education, regulated financial services, and the United States Air Force.

At Texas State University, I serve as Research Technology Architect, reporting to the Vice President for Information Technology and CIO while providing senior technology leadership for the Division of Research. My work spans research computing, high-performance computing, enterprise AI, machine learning, cloud strategy, governance, data-intensive research, organizational design, strategic partnerships, and long-range capability development.

Before higher education, I spent nearly 17 years at USAA in licensed investment and insurance advisory, management, project, and enterprise learning leadership roles. I helped lead a multi-year training reinvention that reduced advisor time to proficiency from approximately 18 months to six months and designed a contractor-to-licensed-professional pipeline that retained 28 of 30 participants with zero monetary errors at the 90-day review.

My professional foundation was formed in the United States Air Force, where I led a 26-member skilled-trades team and managed a hazardous-materials program recognized by the Inspector General as an Air Force benchmark.
