Where audiovisual tech, business & foodie fascinations converge. 

I have worked in the AV technology industry in Highed Education for over 25 years starting as a media technician and continuing on in coordinator and manager roles. I currently offer AV consulting services, as well as enjoy life persuing interests in archeology, animal rescue, and music. 

Here's the official bio, we can talk about the un-official bio in person.   Currently, I am the Director of Product Marketing focusing on NETGEAR’s business solutions.  I started out working in broadcast TV with a successful career in video editing before moving to the manufacturing side with roles in product management and marketing.  I have traveled the globe extensively, including working two Olympics for NBC Sports and winning an Emmy Award with the team in Athens in 2004.  Aside from work, I am an avid drummer and have motorcycled solo across the US several times. I can be found on weekends playing music and getting to know our recent home of Nevada City in the Sierra foothills of California with my wife and 2 rescue dogs.

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 at the intersection of technology, strategy, and leadership. I have been active in AVIXA since 1986 and served on the national board from 1993–2000. I am a Fellow of the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) and an Associate member of the American Institute of Architects. I serve as Director of Digital Experience Design at Clark & Enersen, a 200-person interdisciplinary architecture and engineering firm, where I lead the planning and design of integrated audiovisual and digital experience environments for higher education, healthcare, and research clients. My expertise spans systems design, integrated building technology planning, and strategic business development. I bring an award-winning, B2B design-thinking approach developed through leadership roles with national AEC and technology firms. Across both institutional and consulting roles, I have led marketing and growth strategy, designed future-ready learning and simulation environments, and helped organizations implement AI-powered tools that scale expertise and performance.
