I’m the Director of Technical Training & Development at GenSpark, where I design and lead large-scale training programs that connect academic learning with real-world industry needs.

I’m passionate about building talent and driving workforce innovation. Over the years, I’ve developed and deployed nationwide programs across technologies like Mainframe, RPG, Oracle EBS, Guidewire, Cybersecurity, and Generative AI.

My focus is on creating immersive “Hire-Train-Deploy” models that help entry- and mid-level professionals accelerate into meaningful roles with top enterprise clients. I combine technical training, leadership development, and hands-on learning design to prepare learners for long-term success in the tech industry.

When I’m not building the next generation of tech talent, you’ll usually find me traveling with my family, exploring the outdoors in our Grand Design Momentum RV, or creating new and engaging educational content.

I’m the Training Operations Manager at GenSpark, where I coordinate large-scale training initiatives and serve as a liaison between clients, consultants, and internal teams. I manage everything from onboarding and upskilling to consultant performance tracking and client relationship development to ensure our programs deliver impact at every level.

For every cohort, I focus on keeping the program moving forward, from managing logistics and tracking outcomes to supporting trainers and ensuring you have the resources you need to succeed.

Outside of work, I’m usually organizing something in a spreadsheet or spending time with my wife and 6-year-old Siberian Husky, Ace.
