About Our Team

As the CEO of Kinetic Solutions LLC, I focus on bringing AI-driven automation, LLM solutions, and security innovations to businesses looking to optimize their IT operations. Before starting Kinetic Solutions, I spent over 25 years working with enterprise IT strategy, AI development, and security operations. I’ve led projects that streamlined system monitoring, anomaly detection, and automation—helping organizations make better decisions faster.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me experimenting with the latest AI tech, mentoring up-and-coming professionals, or just enjoying time with family and friends.

As a founder, COO-CFO and Technical Consultant for Kinetic, I take pride in wearing multiple hats. I have spent the last three decades in various technical industries ranging from systems programming, project management and operations leadership roles. Not only do I navigate the operational and financial aspects of Kinetic, but I also roll up my sleeves to deliver technical services directly to our clients. Ultimately, I’m committed to ensuring we provide best-in-class service delivery on every project and building the team to support that mission.

When I’m not at work, you can find me obsessing over watches, audiophile gear, ham radio (KD9YWY) and the occasional cat rescue with my wife. I’m also a committed “Drum Dad” in supporting my son’s passion for playing percussion.

As Director of Engineering at Kinetic Solutions, I take pride in providing quality technical solutions to complex business problems.  I have spent the past several years at Kinetic in a variety of roles to deliver solutions to our customers at the highest standards.  From initial evaluations to full implementation of a solution, I ensure quality, security, and customer satisfaction are outcomes of each engagement. My areas of expertise include enterprise automation, operating system deployment, enterprise monitoring, and endpoint management. Additionally, I provide training and act as a technical lead for our growing team of internal engineering resources.

When I am not at work, I can be found doing home improvement projects, coding side projects, trying new foods, or relaxing with my two cats.  I also enjoy automotive repair and perfecting my grilling skills. 

As an Senior IT Operations Engineer, I focus on projects related to ServiceNow and CMDB/ITSM, and I love contributing to the quality of services we deliver. Before joining Kinetic Solutions LLC, I explored my passion for technology as a hobby—one of my favorite projects was creating spreadsheets to project stats in video games. What I enjoy most about my work is the constant innovation and creativity that comes with it.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me enjoying my favorite pastimes or chatting about personal finance and tech.

As an IT Operations Engineer I, I have experience with implementing monitoring solutions in SolarWinds, making platform enhancements and content in BigFix, developing a custom application in ServiceNow, and setting up OpenSearch for a logging platform. I am a Tanium Certified Operator and Cloud Deployment Specialist, and I have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. I am always interested in learning new things and whatever project I am working on; I strive to do the best job possible.

I love to do good things for my community and when I’m not working, I keep myself busy volunteering for two fire departments and a Lions club.

As an IT Operations Engineer I, I focus on using Endpoint Management tools like BigFix and Tanium to help customers monitor their environments. I also work with security/logging tools like SentinelOne, Tenable, and QRadar to ensure that customers are as safe as can be in an ever-changing environment. From an early age I was fascinated by computers, building my first desktop at age 10, and I carried that passion through college at UW-Madison where I studied Economics and Computer Science. My job at Kinetic offers me the freedom to explore and learn topics that interest me, and my coworkers challenge me and push me to be the best that I can be.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with friends, playing video games, or watching movies with my two cats.
