My first job out of college was working as a consultant for Accenture where I focused on training development and delivery. I met so many great people at Accenture and got to work with some really fun clients including: Discovery Channel, PBS, Gannett, and the Transportation Security Administration.First leadership experience?
I was the manager at the community pool for many summers in college. This was a great experience and taught me a lot about customer service and how to best lead a team who was the same age (or older) than me.

My first “real” job was a cashier at a hardware store. I was an excellent cashier but not so great at bagging. It’s hard to know what to do with tiny lightbulbs, potting soil, a rake and a paper bag.

Probably working on something mechanical (likely under the hood of a car) trying to keep in touch with my engineering roots. (OK, I was a Computer Engineering grad but cars are more fun than circuit boards).Best customer experience?
I used to train customers on application development studios and BI tools. My best experiences were when I could see the lightbulb go off in a student's head and the look of enlightenment and excitement about the new thing they learned that would help them in their day to day world.

Playing with my son, Oliver. If Oliver is asleep, I’m probably out in the garage tinkering or building something. If Oliver is with the babysitter, my wife and I are sharing a bottle (or two!) of wine while binging on Netflix. We both enjoy documentaries and historical drama.What did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a concert pianist when I was in elementary school. In high school, I realized being a rock guitarist was more popular with the ladies, so I shifted my focus to a louder musical genre.What's your favorite quote?
Take the one thing in your life that you can never live without and make that your hobby. Take the thing in life you’re the best at, and make that your career; it will afford you the opportunity to love your hobby forever. I’m not sure that’s exactly my favorite quote, but it’s definitely the quote that has had the most impact on my life. A homeless man who was helping me wash my car for a few bucks said that quote to me in between semesters while at university. I changed my major to electrical engineering before the next semester and I’ve been the tech guy ever since.

“It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.” –Abraham LincolnBest customer experience?
There are many, but early on I remember the satisfaction of presenting a proof of concept to a prospective customer and solving some of their previously “unsolvable” data questions. That experience was infectious and is one of the reasons why I still find BI such a rewarding area to work in.
