Beyond the Screen
In addition to my professional experience, I am passionate about exploring the intersection of technology and human experience. I believe in the power of storytelling to drive engagement and understanding, and I strive to bring this philosophy into all of my work.
When I'm not exploring the latest in AR/VR or refining an AI-agentic workflow, you can often find me engaging with the tech community through my LinkedIn series, "A Digital Perspective," or sharing insights at conferences, tradeshows and congresses. I am a firm believer in "fearless curiosity" and am always looking for the next challenge in digital automation and invention.
I am an engineer by training (BS, Purdue University) and an experimenter by nature, constantly investigating how the next wave of tech—from holographic displays to advanced robotics—can offer better levels of service to the world.
