Director of I.T. & Project Management at Harbor Logistics
My foundation in filmmaking, public relations, and design at the University of South Carolina still shapes how I communicate and solve problems. Today I lead I.T. and project management at Harbor Logistics, improve operations through practical automation and reporting, and build digital products—including Checkpoint, now live on iPhone.

Make business
work better.
I lead strategic initiatives that turn business challenges into better processes, smarter systems, and practical results.
My focus is the intersection of business operations, technology, and execution: understanding what needs to improve, identifying the right solution, bringing stakeholders together, and delivering meaningful change.

How I work
Business-first thinking.
Technology-backed execution.
I don't start with a tool or a software implementation. I start with the problem the business is trying to solve — and stay involved through the work of solving it.
01 / UNDERSTAND
Find the friction.
Work with the people closest to the process, map what's happening, and identify inefficiencies, disconnected systems, and opportunities for improvement.
02 / DESIGN
Choose the right solution.
Evaluate changes to processes, enterprise systems, integrations, automation, and AI based on business needs — not technology for its own sake.
03 / DELIVER
Make the plan real.
Align stakeholders, coordinate vendors and teams, manage delivery, and move initiatives from assessment to implementation and adoption.
04 / IMPROVE
Make the change stick.
Build repeatable workflows, improve reporting, document new processes, and assess whether the change made the operation better.
Selected work
Strategy, systems, and execution.
01 / BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION
Connecting departments, data, and decisions
At Harbor Logistics, I lead technology and cross-functional project work spanning logistics operations, business applications, workflow redesign, systems integration, and reporting.

Checkpoint
I also build products. Checkpoint is a gaming companion I developed from concept through an iPhone release — a separate example of turning an idea into a functioning product.

Deliver the outcome, not just the project.
Technology creates value when it solves a real problem. I enjoy figuring out what needs to change, building a practical path forward, and leading the people, processes, and systems that make that change possible.
