Owner / Manager
A Colorado Springs, CO. resident and senior executive with a breadth of experience and a proud graduate of the University of Kansas. I have spent the last thirty years in a wide variety of roles providing me with the background needed to assist clients in all domains with a focus on the evolving world of telecommunications from next generation networks to the Internet of Things (IoT).
Most recently I was the Executive Vice President of Viavi Solutions (previously JDSU), responsible for the development and management of the communications test product portfolio, including instruments, probes, software applications and service-assurance solutions.
Prior to this I have served in senior executive positions at Nokia Siemens Networks and Nortel, managing high growth business portfolios, Government, services, operations and sales. During my tenure at Nortel I was appointed by the President of the United States to serve on the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee.
I am currently board chair of a White House and National Science Foundation initiative, called U.S. Ignite
https://us-ignite.org to promote U.S. leadership in developing applications and services for broadband and software-defined networks.
Additionally I serve on the Board of Directors for Qorvo, a core technologies and radio frequency solutions provider to mobile, infrastructure and defense/aerospace markets. I also serve on the Advisory Board for the University of Kansas from which I hold a B.S. in Computer Science.
