About Me
I'm currently a Field CTO & Distinguished Technical Architect for the Salesforce Platform. For the past 17 years, I've been a Microsoft and Salesforce platform evangelist, advising Fortune 100 organizations and Public Sector customers on their strategic software platforms and cloud investments. At both Microsoft and Salesforce, I've worked in a variety of technical sales roles, including the evangelism of Visual Studio & Azure, Salesforce & Heroku, and related integration & development technologies.

Philanthropy & Giving Back
A big part of stewarding the talents I’ve been given is creating opportunity for others. Through scholarships, internships in design and technology, and meaningful software development roles in the UK and US, I’m committed to opening doors for those who might not otherwise have access. My work in Malawi, Africa—with partners like ShiftIT, Werkix, and a global network of Salesforce and Heroku collaborators—has been recognized with the Salesforce Golden Hoodie Award. But the true reward is in the lives changed through education, empowerment, and employment.

Father, Artist, Musician & Writer
When I’m not doing the work thing, I’m just a dad trying to keep up with four awesome kids and beautiful wife. I’m usually doodling, doing odd handy work jobs around the house, or making music on the piano or guitar—sometimes with the kids joining in. Art, music, and family keep things interesting (and occasionally a little chaotic), but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
