Hi! I’m a Sales Engineer at Arrow with over 20 years of experience connecting technology and people. I love what I do—helping teams turn complex technical insights into meaningful results. My background is rooted in backup and security, and I’m passionate about making cybersecurity simple, accessible, and effective for everyone.

My goal has always been the same: deliver high-quality solutions that make a difference. Whether I’m helping a client build resilience in the cloud, designing secure backup systems, or guiding a team through a new implementation, I focus on creating value and lasting impact. To me, technology should empower people, not complicate things.

What I Bring to the Table
With a strong mix of certifications and project experience, I thrive on continuous learning and pushing my own boundaries. Leading successful implementations in backup and security has taken me beyond my comfort zone, giving me insights that drive my work today. I value collaboration and clear communication because I know that aligning technology with real business goals is what makes a project succeed.

Let’s connect! I’d love to talk about how we can strengthen your security strategy, simplify the complex, and turn your technical goals into wins for your business.
