I am a father of 4, and live in Garner North Carolina (a growing town south of Raleigh). I thrive on solving problems and learning new ways to solve problems. In my spare time (which can be sparse!) I like to read, speak, build things, cook, and learn. I currently work as an Engineering Manager at ChannelAdvisor. I lead a team of outstanding DBAs that amaze and inspire me every day, or at a very minimum make me laugh and smile.
