Making complex work make sense.
When a team’s numbers don’t agree, I find out why. I fix it at the source and show the team how to keep it fixed.

Where I can help
Three doors. All of them open the same way. If you’ve got messy data or you’re in a hard season, there’s a door here for you.
-
Data Stewardship
I make data you can trust. I trace a wrong number back to where it started. I write the quality rule that catches it next time. I make sure every asset has an owner and accurate metadata. I’ve done this at a bank, where a wrong number is a regulatory problem.
-
Data Analysis
I give you answers you can defend. I write the SQL and test the full population. Compliance and audit teams have run on my numbers. When the same question keeps coming back, I build a dashboard so you can answer it yourself.
-
Mentoring and Coaching
I help people grow. I’m a Certified Life Breakthrough Coach. I’ve coached athletes with intellectual disabilities since 2003. I teach seniors at my church to solve their own tech problems. I find what someone is already good at and build from there.
About
Core values
Integrity
Above reproach
If I can’t do the job in a way I’d be comfortable walking someone through line by line, I don’t take it. That has cost me things. I’d still rather lose the work than explain away how I got it.
Stewardship
Everything is on loan
My time and my skills and my money, and the data somebody trusted me with. I manage what I’ve been handed instead of treating it like mine.
Authenticity
Same in private as in public
No masks, no dark corners, and my yes means yes. You get the same person in the interview, on the team, and on a bad week.
Intentionality
Do it on purpose
I check the numbers before I answer. It takes a minute. A wrong number costs more.
Discernment
Notice what doesn’t add up
Most bad decisions I have watched were made on data that looked fine. My job is to notice the thing that does not add up before it becomes somebody’s problem.
Care for People
Leave people better than you found them
I would rather build somebody up than just get the work done. People do their best work when somebody believes they can.
How I’m wired
| Assessment | Result | What it means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| CliftonStrengths | Restorative, Relator, Input, Developer, Ideation | Restorative is why I go straight to what’s broken. Developer is why the team can fix it without me next time. |
| DISC | C/SD. Cautious, then Supportive and Dominant | My work is right when it ships. I hold a high bar, and I bring the team up to it without a fight. |
| Big Fivealso called OCEAN or the Five Factor Model | Agreeableness 96th percentile. Enthusiasm 92nd. Neuroticism 9th. | Calm under pressure is how I’m built. I was the primary operator in production disaster recovery at DTCC. |
| Myers-Briggs | ENFJ, the Protagonist or Teacher | Called the Protagonist, though Teacher fits better. I see what someone could be good at before they do, and I am at my best on the day the thing I understand finally clicks for someone else. |
