About

I graduated in '92. While at Tech I was in a fraternity, I co-oped at IBM, I worked part-time as a programmer, I waited tables, and I also played guitar professionally at local bars and fraternity parties. I was also a FASET leader and on the FASET council, as well as a member of a few other organizations. In 1995, I co-founded KS2 Technologies, Inc. (back then a different name) with my father and also with a friend of mine who I had started doing technology projects with. We now have about 50 people. We build and manage hybrid-cloud enterprise technology solutions for our customers. Our solutions support core business processes, integrations with external partners, automation, and Cloud.

I have also served for many years on the ISyE Advisory Board and served as the board chair in 2019 and 2020.

My company strongly believes in what ISyE graduates are capable of. I have hired several over the years, and several recent Tech ISyE graduates are currently employed by my company and I know them all pretty well. There are many things I've learned over the years. Many of those things I wish I'd learned sooner and not the hard way! I would to help future Tech graduates if I can.
