My Story
I've always been fascinated by how things work — and more importantly, how they can work better. This curiosity led me on a path through some of the world's most distinguished institutions and into a career defined by building solutions that matter.
My journey began at Oral Roberts University, where I developed not just technical skills, but a foundation of faith and purpose that continues to guide everything I do. Education there taught me that true success isn't measured by what you achieve, but by the impact you have on others.
I continued my education at Harvard University Extension School, where I deepened my understanding of technology and its potential to transform industries. The rigorous academic environment pushed me to think bigger and aim higher.
Most recently, I completed the MIT Professional Education CTO Program, which equipped me with the strategic lens to lead technology organizations and drive innovation at scale. This program crystallized my approach to technology leadership: combining technical excellence with strategic vision.
What Drives Me
At my core, I'm a builder. I see problems as opportunities and technology as a tool for positive change. Whether it's developing a new application, architecting a complex system, or sharing knowledge with others, I approach every endeavor with the same question: "How does this make the world better?"
This platform — SmartLikeHow — is my way of documenting the journey, sharing what I've learned, and hopefully inspiring others to pursue their own path of purposeful creation.
Beyond Technology
When I'm not building solutions or writing code, you'll find me mentoring aspiring technologists, exploring new ideas, and spending time with family. I believe in the power of community and the importance of lifting others as we climb.
