Who am I?
I'm deeply rooted in the Pacific Northwest. I live just outside Seattle in Bothell with my wife Kim, we have adult children Claire and Jake, and our two adventurous dogs — Copper, our wise Finnish Hound, and River, our spirited Boxer. This region’s natural beauty, innovative spirit, and resilient communities inspire both my work and my life.
As Director of Technology at Ryther — a Seattle nonprofit founded in 1885 dedicated to exceptional therapeutic services for children, youth, and families — I lead our small IT team in transforming technology to remove friction for clinicians and staff. My focus is on Microsoft 365 optimization, identity, device management, automation, and compliance aligned security that stays practical and low-disruption. Most recently I have been leveraging the power of AI chatbots, agents and automation to to more than I ever thought possible.
With more than three decades in IT leadership, I've specialized in turning complex challenges into efficient, people-centered solutions — especially in nonprofit and mission-driven environments. I believe technology should serve the mission, not the other way around.
This site is my space to share professional insights that complement my LinkedIn presence alongside personal stories about outdoors activities including fishing, hunting, exploring, boating and more I also enjoy football, 3D printing and design, video games, BBQ, and time with family and friends. I have been a fan of the Seattle Seahawks since 1975.
My faith, family and activities keep me grounded.
Why do I love the Pacific Northwest (PNW)?
I am third generation Washington native. When I step away from the work and the city, the Pacific Northwest fills me with awe of its beauty. I’m an avid angler an boater— often found on local lakes and rivers with my Alumaweld Stryker (The DogFather), chasing salmon, steelhead, or simply enjoying the quiet. My wife Kim and I love family adventures and travel (Disney escapes are her favorite), and time with Copper and River on the trails.
