I am an entrepreneurial technology leader with over a decade of experience spearheading innovative initiatives and managing high-impact projects across various industries. As the co-founder of AI Portland, I've built a 1900+ member community focused on demystifying generative AI and its applications, organizing monthly events that bridge the gap between AI technology and practical business applications. 

My career also spans significant operations and business management roles, including as a Partner and VP at Cloud Four, where I lead our engineering team and manage sizable projects for several F500 clients. My expertise lies in blending technical acumen with strategic insight to drive company-wide transformations and foster environments that encourage technological advancement and operational excellence.

I bet my brother and sister will love that I used this pic of us, circa 1985, to illustrate my latest article. Refraining from tagging them for obvious reasons. 😂

Stay safe out there, friends.

There's a lot of good advice and perspective in this article, but selfishly, this part stuck out to me. This is one of our foundational goals with AI Portland: create a place for people to connect, learn, and spark innovation. 

"Build habits and routines that serve your own professional goals. As much as you can, participate in the things that get your name out into your professional community, whether that’s in-person events in your town, or writing on a regular basis about your area of expertise, or mentoring with those who are new to your field. You’ll never regret building relationships with people, or being generous with your knowledge in ways that remind others that you’re great at what you do."

Third business day of the new year. Is this when my newfound motivation, resolve, and focus gets wobbly?
