About

I started my career in telecom in 2003 working for Time Warner Cable as a Cumulative Leakage Index technician climbing poles in southeastern Wisconsin. I recently had a conversation with an older sibling who mentioned that when I was younger, and whenever we had cable installed, I would follow the technician around the house curiously watching and continuously asking questions. Today when I think about back then I realize how amazed I was as to how so many channels came through one wire. I mention this to highlight the point that this is my purpose in life and if it is not; I must be extremely close enough to it. Since 2005 I have been well emerged in system support roles my desire with achieving this current degree will be to advance to a prominent management role such as a director or vice president. This is my first time ever writing this or telling anyone of that matter. I hope that now that I have sent this message out into the universe the macrocosm shall return superfluously.

Goals and interests

Career goal

For the past 13 years I have been rooted in the cable industry and I have worked for the nation’s top four cable companies. Within that time I have learned a great deal about the business, enough to where I feel I can branch out into other geographical areas of the profession. Over the past three years I have been contemplating on living abroad. This idea is fueled by my desire to travel and also influenced by a handful of associates, friends, and family that are already living in various parts of the world. I would like to make a positive impact of bringing Internet access to a nation that may have limited or simply no access at all. A contribution to the world such as this would be my final wish before I meet my Maker.

Graduate school interests

I am currently a graduate student at Denver University but I hope to attend Colorado State University for their Doctrine Program in Computer Science.

Outside the classroom

I am a Co-founder of Good Mornings Coffeehouse & Art Gallery. I like to think we will offer something Starbucks (other coffee shops) do not, creativity, and community. Good Mornings Coffeehouse is an arts collective dedicated to promoting community building and development through accessible arts education. Our goal is to bring community and art back to the coffeehouse through local art and local coffee. I believe a space created for meet ups about art will teach, beautify, motivate, inspire, empower, and transform the lives and communities of thousands of Coloradans. Everyone is welcomed as we are on a mission to promote positive interactions in our community and to expand the accessibility to art for everyone. http://www.gmcoffeehouse.com/
When I’m not working on building our brand at Good Mornings Coffeehouse & Art Gallery I enjoy the outdoors no matter the season. In winter I snowboard and in summer, spring and fall I hike and camp. When I need a quick wilderness fix I really enjoy hoping on my motorcycle and riding through these lovely Colorado Mountain ranges.
