Owner and Producer

After being introduced to John Grisham and A Few Good Men, I figured I'd be a lawyer. 

But in the early 2000's I found myself adrift in the deep south of the United States. 

I did what anyone would in this situation: became a barista.

What a time to be alive. The pretentiousness of specialty coffee was palpable in those days.

I bought VHS latte art tutorials. Need I say more?

I found my way onto the campus of Holmes Community College. Two years later, Dan Harmon decided to make a hit TV series roughly diagramming my many years there.

I quit my job at least 2.5 times over the course of 10 years. But they kept pulling me back in and I kept pulling espresso shots through college.

I made my way to Millsaps College and graduated after another several dozen weeks of self-deprecation with a business degree so well rounded the diploma still rolls off my desk.

It was 2012. The earth was still warm. I was a somewhat educated, somewhat experienced graduate. I accepted a management role at Cups. I got married. We bought a home. I was nearing the end-game.

A rift appeared in my sanity. I returned to college to take a summer Calculus II course.

I was intoxicated by all the math and science that I'd overlooked for the first thirty years of my life.

Sparked mainly by a restless discontent that would confuse Steinbeck and a love of the show Lost, I figured I'd study some physics and get an engineering degree.

I got halfway there; the harder half too, from what I understand...so I basically have an engineering degree.

We had our first child and enjoyed it so much we kept going.

Formal education was again put out of my life. I grieved. I found freeCodeCamp, YouTube and the pure days of MOOCs (looking at you, MIT).

I learned to code, I dabbled in data, I began to write, I made some videos, I listened to hours of podcasts, I built and butchered websites. 

Accepting a remote role (still at Cups), I moved back home to the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee and took up ultrarunning.

The world fell apart, but I had already gone remote before it was cool. I ran some more. I began using LinkedIn on the regular. I began to see gray hairs in my beard.

We bought a mini van.

I'm currently writing a tech newsletter, growing a YouTube channel, publishing a daily reflection on addiction, reading a bunch of books and not watching any sports.

Business Intelligence Developer

I like solving messy data problems and turning them into systems that just make sense. Give me a tangle of spreadsheets, outdated dashboards, or a clunky process, and I’ll transform it into something clean, scalable, and surprisingly usable.

I’ve worked across industries (energy, higher education, marketing, infrastructure) each one teaching me how to think creatively, act precisely, and build systems that don’t just work, but work well. I thrive in that sweet spot between deep technical work and practical business impact, where decisions get smarter, teams move faster, and the right data shows up at the right time.

In previous roles, I’ve: 
• Streamlined ETL pipelines across 700+ nodes, cutting hours of processing time
• Automated the extraction of 22 years of RFP data, eliminating manual lift entirely
• Built dashboards that helped execs uncover millions in missed opportunity
• Consolidated redundant code into centralized Python libraries for better scalability
• Helped reallocate $50K+ in marketing spend by identifying high-performing lead sources
• Created intuitive reporting tools that saved teams 7+ hours a month and reduced errors

Tools I use often: Python, SQL, Power BI, GCP/Azure, Snowflake/Databricks, dbt, and a bit curiosity. Whether I’m building a reusable pipeline, visualizing performance for decision-makers, or uncovering patterns no one saw before, I focus on clarity, impact, and getting the job done right.

I think like a consultant, build like an engineer, and move like an owner. I’m often the one who volunteers to untangle the hard stuff and then quietly makes it look easy.

If you're working on something complex and need a fresh perspective (or just want to nerd out about data), feel free to connect.
