Who I am…
I was born in Abingdon, VA and grew up in Bristol, TN. After graduating from High School, I started work through a Temporary Agency for Sprint Telecenters, Inc. In 1999, I became a permanent employee where I began my career with Sprint, now T-Mobile, that spanned more than 22 years before finally pursuing a new opportunity with Ntara as a Business Analyst of Product Information Management Implementation.
Throughout my career, I have always valued personal development. I earned Bachelor and Master degrees from East Tennessee State University in Business Administration and a second Bachelor degree in Software Development from Western Governor’s University. I also hold several industry certifications in both Project Management and Software Development.
I am happily married to my wife Jessica and together we have three wonderful boys, Logan, Preston, and Brendan.
