As an architect by training (BS Architecture, Cal Poly SLO) and a collaborative technologist with four decades of practice, I’m passionate about mentoring the next generation of AV professionals in the intersection of technology, strategy, and leadership. I've been active in AVIXA since 1986, and served on the national board, 1993-2000. I'm a Fellow of the Society of Marketing Professional Services (SMPS), and an Associate member of the American Institute of Architects.
My expertise spans audiovisual systems design, integrated building technology, strategic business development, and higher education technology planning. I bring an award-winning, B2B design thinking approach developed through leadership roles with national AEC and technology firms. I’ve led marketing and sales strategy, designed future-ready digital experience environments, and helped organizations implement AI-powered tools to scale expertise and performance.
InfoComm—it's how we connect.
InfoComm is the world’s most vital pro AV show. Where the unseen technology behind our modern lives is at work and at play. Transparent 3D LED screens. Mixing boards used by the biggest touring artists. And massive control rooms broadcasting sports, viral videos and more.
It’s where global brands launch new products and where you’ll tap into a vast network of extraordinary humans changing how we experience the world. From the coffee we smart brew to the concert we jam to—and all the moments in between. Lift the curtain on what’s powering connection today. And cue the lights for what’s powering it tomorrow.
