This site collects my public work and background.

Over the past two years, I married my partner of fourteen years and, shortly before our wedding, bought a home where we now live and operate an equestrian boarding business. Before that, I spent more than fifteen years in procurement and operational roles across higher education, corporate, and military environments.

I currently serve as Accounts Payable Supervisor at Duquesne University, while independently hosting and deploying AI and LLM tools for personal and small-group use.
