Me considero una persona apasionada por lo que hace, me gusta trabajar y solucionar problemas.  Tengo afinidad con la fotografía, la música y las artes en general.  Dada mi formación profesional y el caminar en esta industria he aprendido a diseñar sistemas AV que generan experiencias de usuarios, que satisfacen necesidades y con una rápida adopción tecnológica.  Soy capaz de liderar y motivar equipos en torno a metas concretas, siempre preocupado del crecimiento del área como también de cada uno de sus miembros en particular. 

Over 35 years of combined experience as a AV integrator, consultant and designer supporting the audiovisual needs of corporate, government, and broadcast clients. Proud Grandpa, old truck and tractor enthusiast, like all the geeky details. 

I believe marketing should do more than make noise. It should make it matter. Whether it’s driving demand, building brand heat, or giving sales teams something real to run with, I’m here to make sure marketing actually moves the needle. At CTI, I lead a team of people who give a damn about results and relationships. From Pro AV to broadcast, mission critical spaces, and beyond, we create campaigns that build trust and drive growth. No cold DMs. No gimmicks. Just work that works. What drives me? The endurance mindset. I’m an athlete, a coach, and someone who believes showing up when it’s hard is what makes it count. Let’s build something that lasts. If you care about people, growth, leadership, or building brands that actually work, I’m all ears.
