Executive Leader | MBA | CISSP | Six Sigma Black Belt
I’ve spent my career translating complexity into clarity — not just in systems and code, but in organizations, strategy, and leadership.
With over 30 years of experience across development, cybersecurity, IT leadership, and teaching, I’ve had the opportunity to lead and advise organizations of all sizes through critical transformations. I’ve served as an IT leader for major hospitals, launched enterprise applications across a variety of industries, guided teams through compliance certifications like HITRUST and NIST, and supported nonprofits in building sustainable tech strategies. My roots are in software engineering, but my reach extends into boardrooms, classrooms, and everywhere strategy meets execution.
Today, I operate as an independent consultant and fractional IT executive under my brand, NetX2 Resources — offering contract-based advisory, technology leadership, and solution architecture for clients who value thoughtful insight, trusted experience, and honest communication.
What I Bring
- Fractional CIO / CTO Leadership
Strategic tech oversight without the full-time price tag. I help align technology with mission, guide digital strategy, and lead internal teams or vendor relationships.
- Digital Transformation & Systems Modernization
From ERP transitions to custom app design, I bring structure to chaos and help organizations move forward with clarity and purpose.
- IT & Cybersecurity Consulting
CISSP-certified with deep experience in risk assessments, compliance strategy, and infrastructure design. I’ve led HITRUST R2 certification and complex audits.
- Technical Coaching & Executive Translation
I bridge the gap between technical teams and leadership — translating complexity into actionable strategy and aligning priorities across functions.
- Workshops, Education & STEM Mentorship
As an adjunct faculty member at Southern New Hampshire University, I teach courses in C#, communications, and data strategy. I bring that clarity and teaching mindset into every client engagement.
Industries I’ve Worked In
- Healthcare & Hospitals (including multi-million dollar facility projects and nationwide systems)
- Enterprise IT (custom applications, integrations, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and GRC)
- Energy & Mining (multi-million dollar digital transformations, custom applications)
- Nonprofits (with a focus on operational efficiency and digital maturity)
- Finance, Distribution, and Logistics (ERP, warehousing, asset tracking, and reporting tools)
Not Just a Résumé — A Real Relationship
What I’ve learned over decades of work is this: successful technology is always rooted in human clarity. That’s what I aim to bring to every engagement — whether I’m consulting for a C-suite, guiding a startup through its tech stack, or mentoring a first-time team lead.
I’m not here to upsell or overengineer. I’m here to listen, understand, and help you move forward.
Let’s Work Together
Whether you’re:
- Navigating a leadership gap
- Scaling your systems or staff
- Tackling a major compliance or transformation effort
- Or just in need of calm, strategic guidance in a time of change...
Let’s talk. I offer flexible, fractional, and project-based options that meet your needs — and I bring honesty, depth, and momentum to every client relationship.
