What do you do at Presidio? 

I work with an exciting group focused on bringing new, diverse people into our world of IT and engineering while helping to increase the efficiency of our Presales organization.  In addition, I serve as the Chairperson of the Presidio Distinguished Professionals (PDP) Program.

What attracted you to Presidio? And what keeps you here?

Everyone likes being part of a growing company and being able to do that with people you like to work with is what keeps me here. Many of the people that I work with have become friends outside of work. I’ve been given great opportunities here, and I always felt this company rewards positive, creative, and motivated people.

What is energizing you and your work right now? What drives you?

We are building a team of “early career” Presales Engineers who will become that next generation of senior superstars. We are recruiting talent based on attitude and aptitude and training them to help build their skills in all the aspects of technology that Presidio sells.

What is your superpower/special talent? 

Outside of work, I am very active in the collector car world. I buy, sell, and restore cars – mostly pre-1972 cars, and most are pre-WW2. My oldest car is a 1912 Auburn, and I am currently restoring a 1959 Gemini Formula Jr race car.

How does superpower align with your work here at Presidio?

Working on a car’s restoration – it is all about paying attention to detail, learning new skills, and not being afraid to take something apart so that you can put it back together better than it was. Those are all skills you must have to be successful in IT.
