Microsoft & VMware expertise. Real-world infrastructure. Practical results.
30+ years of enterprise infrastructure experience across Sacramento, Northern California, and beyond. Deep specialization in Microsoft technologies, VMware virtualization, multi-vendor infrastructure, data migration, and technical documentation — plus a running account of the work, the travel, and the things worth writing down.
Where three decades of hands-on work has concentrated — enterprise environments at every scale, from small business to state government, and the multi-vendor complexity that comes with them.
With more than 30 years of experience in enterprise infrastructure support services, I help organizations across Sacramento and Northern California — and globally — build reliable, high-performance IT environments.
My core strengths are in Microsoft technologies, VMware virtualization, and third-party infrastructure products — areas where I bring deep hands-on expertise built over decades of real-world engagements. I also specialize in data migration, technical documentation, and IT training, helping organizations not just implement technology but understand and sustain it.
I've worked on-site and remote, across locations and time zones, for organizations that needed experienced and practical infrastructure expertise. The through-line has been clear guidance, dependable execution, and building technology foundations that outlast the engagement that created them.
I currently place my consulting engagements through Zeektek — a Sacramento-based IT staffing firm I've been proud to partner with since September 2024. In my experience they stand apart from other staffing firms in how genuinely they support their consultants. If you're an IT professional exploring contract opportunities, or an organization looking for top-tier technical talent, I'd encourage you to check them out. View open positions →
Practical thoughts on enterprise IT and technology leadership, alongside travel, culture, and the people and causes I encounter along the way — drawn from 30+ years in the industry and a curiosity that doesn't stop at the office door.
I'm always glad to hear from people working in this space. I'm in a long-term contract at the moment, so I'm not taking on new client projects — but I'm open to conversations about future engagements, recruiters planning ahead, speaking and writing, and anything connected to the work on this site.
