About Me
The devil is in the details. As Director of Web Services at The University of Texas at Dallas, I like working out the details on projects big and small. My mother always told me I asked too many questions, but I just couldn’t help myself. When it comes to the task at hand, I always needs to know the what, why, where, when and how.
Prior to joining UTD, I served as Director of Digital Production and head of the Project Management Office at The Richards Group. There, I was responsible for taking the “impossible” dreams of the strategy and creative teams and finding a way to make it happen, on time and on budget. I’ve managed digital projects for clients including Biltmore, Keurig Dr Pepper, Metro by T-Mobile, and The Home Depot.
As is appropriate for a man who spends most of my time knee-deep in interactive technology, I am a tech geek. When not hard at work, you can usually find me reading up on the newest gadgets, listening to the latest technology podcast or tinkering with some new software. So go ahead, call me a nerd. I’m comfortable with it.
