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.

ENG: Thought leader at Schneider Electric on applying Lean and Agile principles in Catalyst Leadership, Organizational Design and Methods. Paul is currently working in the PMO Organization of Global Supply Chain, where applying Agile, Waterfall and Hybrid structures are contextually dependent.
Paul has worked in a variety of fields, including software, digital, cyber-physical hardware systems, systems integration and now the most complicated system of all.... people and teams.
The story of Agility is about people and how we try to bring new thinking models today into incremental changes over transformations. Paul uses an invitational coaching approach that meets people where they are and adapts through context-sensitive frameworks, methods and tools. This allows us to find more obstacles and work relentlessly with people who are improving while respecting people and culture, which is the foundation of a digitization journey. Let's work together to change the world.

FRA: Leader d'opinion chez Schneider Electric sur l'application des principes Lean et Agile dans le leadership catalytique, la conception organisationnelle et les méthodes. Paul travaille actuellement au sein de l'organisation PMO de la chaîne d'approvisionnement mondiale, où l'application des structures Agile, Waterfall et hybrides dépend du contexte.
Paul a travaillé dans divers domaines, notamment les logiciels, le numérique, les systèmes matériels cyber-physiques, l'intégration des systèmes et maintenant le système le plus compliqué de tous.... les personnes et les équipes.
L'histoire de l'agilité concerne les personnes et la manière dont nous essayons aujourd'hui d'introduire de nouveaux modèles de pensée dans des changements progressifs plutôt que dans des transformations. Paul utilise une approche de coaching sur invitation qui rencontre les gens là où ils sont et s'adapte grâce à des cadres, des méthodes et des outils sensibles au contexte.

Chris writes things.

Most of the time, he's writing code as a senior software engineer at his 9-5 working for SAS. Occasionally, usually late at night after wife and three kids are asleep, it means writing fiction (often in the horror and fantasy space) as he prepares to launch his self-publishing author career.

Chris is passionate about helping people understand new or complex topics in ways that are engaging and entertaining, building software responsibly, and reminding engineers that curiosity and empathy are just as important as technical skill.

An extroverted engineer who genuinely enjoys speaking to a room full of people for 20+ minutes, Chris' presenting style has been described as "modern, with a TikTok flair" -- one of the greatest compliments he's ever received.

When he's not "writing things," you'll find him paying video games, reading fiction, or spending time with his favorite people (the aforementioned wife and three kids). he's also incredibly talented, funny, and a general pleasure to be around. And as an aside, he _insists_ that he did not write this bio.
