Twenty-five years making technology work — for the people who depend on it.

Where the fundamentals were forged

I started where most good IT people do — on the help desk — and moved quickly into system administration. For nearly ten years in the finance sector, I built and ran the infrastructure a business can't afford to have go down: Novell NetWare environments, Cisco systems networking, and VoIP platforms. Finance taught me precision, uptime, and the discipline of getting it right the first time.

When IT really matters

Next came healthcare, where technology isn't a convenience — it's part of patient care. I implemented hosted EHR systems and deepened my expertise in application virtualization, storage networking, and healthcare security and controls.

Then came work that shaped how I see this profession: implementing communication dispatch centers and radio-over-IP technology for an air ambulance company. Building the systems first responders rely on to reach people in their most critical hour gave me a deep and lasting appreciation for the men and women who care for others when it matters most — and for building technology that simply cannot fail.

Transforming how a business runs

I then moved into manufacturing, leading the transformation of a local coffee manufacturer's entire IT infrastructure. Implementing enterprise virtualization, storage, networking, and enterprise applications changed the way the company operated day to day — proof of what the right technology, well implemented, can do for a business.

Bringing it all directly to you

After 25 years across finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, I founded Fidelis IT Group to bring that senior-level experience to businesses of every kind — as an independent advisor who tells you the truth and stands behind the work. "Fidelis" means faithful. That's the whole idea.
