I've been working with networks since 2003, starting as a Network Analyst and moving into architecture roles over the years. Currently I'm a Solutions Architect at RUCKUS Networks, specializing in wireless solutions for multi-dwelling units like apartment buildings, student housing, and senior communities. I work with property owners and MSPs to design and optimize RF coverage for dense residential environments.
I live on a farm in rural Kentucky, which gives me firsthand experience with connectivity challenges outside urban areas. This perspective helps when working on projects that need to bridge the gap between rural and urban connectivity needs.
Outside of work, I'm an amateur radio operator (N4OG) and spend time training my Border Collies, Fig and Willy. Both hobbies keep me connected to the fundamentals of RF engineering and problem-solving.
