📜 Manifesto

I tend to believe that the things with the most difficulty are worth doing. Obstacles and learning provide the best opportunities for learning and improvement. By taking on the difficult, I find comfort in the failure and satisfied from the opportunities to learn.

Throughout my career I have had the opportunity to work with outstanding people and organizations that have provided me with ample opportunities, growth, and continued challenge to realize my potential. I do not believe this makes me unique, many have been where I am, and many more have surpassed me. However, my constant curiousity and imperative to learn has always helped me navigate this field.

Though I am in my first decade of work within the Cloud Computing space, I am excited to engage and understand the way in which we utilize and develop technological advancements. I have found that my curiousity has served me well.

    The obstacle in the path becomes the path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.
