About

I am an executive consultant, a community organizer, an open source advocate, and an attorney. Because of my unique experiences that combine technology and law, I am equally comfortable presenting to a room full of "geeks" or donning a suit to meet with corporate leaders. Bi-lingual in Developer and Executive, clients and colleagues trust me because I am able to meet them wherever they are, guiding them through the intersection of business and technology. A dedicated member of the developer community, I have been a director of the .NET Foundation, I am a Microsoft MVP, and I travel internationally to speak on technical, business, and community-oriented topics. Throughout my career, I have maintained a deep passion for technology education. I serve as a lead organizer for the Kansas City Developer Conference, #MetaConference, and Dev Around The Sun, and I was previously a director of the Dev Up Conference and St. Louis .NET User Group.
