My Bio

Standing side by side with teammates, jumping up and down, waiting to exit the tunnel as tens of thousands of fans rise to their feet and erupt with thunderous roar of clapping in unison...this was one of my fondest memories from my time at the University of Texas. Unfortunately, I was just one of the clapping fans.

I will spare you the long job history...

Before I went to the dark side (of product marketing):

  •  IBM RS6000 division
  •  IBM Global Services

Transitioning (the force was strong):

  •  Tivoli Systems (assimilation into IBM)

May as well have been Darth Vader:

  •  PentaSafe (startup acquired) -> NetIQ
  •  Identity Mgmt Division in Sun Microsystems
  •  SolarWinds

More than you ever wanted to know about me... I could eat sushi every day. I disagree vehemently with my wife that watching college football all day Saturday and then NFL all day on Sunday is a little excessive. I finally bought an iPhone and I love it, no I hate it, okay I love it. I like swimming as long as it doesn't result in exercise. Behind The Wheel Spanish is my ride to and from work. I can now carry on a conversation in Spanish with my 3 year old nephew in law.
