Working with Microsoft technologies since VB6 I've been there, and done that. These days I'm spreading the word for DeepL, working with third parties and customers using our API Product but also various community activities such as the WeAreDotnet portal and other things. Another thing I really enjoy doing is helping fellow developers in whatever way is good, mentoring or coaching, writing blog posts, building SDKs, and anything that helps make someone's work day a bit more enjoyable.

It is safe to say that I have an odd mix of experiences. After graduating from Penn State University, I worked for the federal government for a decade in various analyst roles doing things as mundane as personnel budgeting and as exciting as presenting to the Director of the FBI and testifying as an expert to grand juries.

After leaving civil service, my next decade was spent attempting to perfect theme park vacations by working for TouringPlans.com. We used statistics and lots and lots of research to optimize peoples theme park trips and I assisted in many ways from research tasks and writing to starting a travel agency to filming YouTube videos that have over 1 million views.

Now I am a consultant at Centric Consulting, helping companies rethink their data strategies. I am thrilled to once again share my experiences by speaking about data strategy, project management, consulting, statistics, theme parks and, frankly, anything else.
