Cross-functional coordination

Comfortable serving as the single point of contact across AV, IT, and licensed trade partners on a project.

Cross-discipline expertise

AV, IT, and live production knowledge in one person — fewer handoffs between specialists.

On time. On budget.

Project management discipline means fewer surprises and better outcomes.

Regional knowledge

Deep familiarity with NJ/NY/PA vendors, codes, and market conditions.

Always learning

Actively pursuing PMP certification and continuing education across the AV/IT credential stack.

Why Work With Me

A Partner-Level Perspective

Most organizations don't need another vendor — they need someone who understands the full picture and takes ownership of outcomes.

I bridge the gap

Technology projects often fail due to poor coordination between vendors — my background is in preventing exactly that, as the person who owns the coordination.

Certified & credentialed

CTS-certified through AVIXA and pursuing PMP certification — industry-standard credentials across the AV/IT stack.

Veteran discipline

Eight years in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve as an Electronics Technician — a foundation for structured, methodical work.

Industry Background

Industry Experience

Experience spans organizations across New Jersey and the tri-state area that rely on technology to operate, communicate, and perform.
