I’m a leader and a builder. Starting from my time in a south Texas rescue team, 9 years in the Army national guard, being a carpenter then later flipping houses. I fell into tech because I got a job as a security guard in my mid 20’s so that I could support my wife and kids while I went to school full time to finish my degree.

My security guard job was at a tech company called IM Flash. Shortly after I started working there, IM Flash started hiring entry level manufacturing floor operators. It paid slightly more so I applied and got the job. Very shortly into that I became a leader, and eventually started getting frustrated with the inability to plan for incoming product to my department. So I built a very hacky excel spreadsheet that got data from different places and allowed me to better predict my department needs.

That put me on the radar of the software team, for which I applied and got a job as a software engineer. By that time I had finished my bachelors degree in business, and took about 3 months of online classes for web development.

Within a few years of joining that team I was coordinating projects in Virginia, Singapore, China, Japan, etc. and felt like I had found my calling. Then I started to wonder what else is out there. I was comfortable, good pay, good benefits, good work hours, but felt like I had more to offer the world. So I started a software company. It failed miserably, but I got the bug for building companies.

From there I’ve been involved in some awesome projects. When I came across Weltrio the founder, Rhonda, who is an incredible person, had a solution for healthcare and a vision that I immediately resonated with. We started talking and over the period of about a year and a half we put a deal together to partner, along with a couple other people who I respect and admire.

Since then we’ve been on a mission to create a product that can scale Rhonda’s original solution out to any size company. And that’s where we’re at today, the solution is ready and we’re building momentum.
