About

I’m a Business Initiatives Consultant in the Transformation Management Office at UnityPoint Health, where I’ve spent over a decade refining processes and driving organizational change. As a PMP-certified professional, I’ve always had an eye for continuous improvement — but my true passion lies in the how. The actual building of solutions.

I consider myself a Maker in the truest sense. The most effective solutions aren’t handed down from the top; they’re built by the people closest to the problem.

Professional Execution

I work heavily in Microsoft 365 — building out SharePoint sites, Microsoft Lists, and Teams environments, and connecting them with Power Automate to automate workflows and bridge the gap between high-level strategy and ground-level execution.

PMP certified since 2020, active PMI member, and former volunteer director on the PMI Central Iowa Chapter Board. I also had the privilege of co-building PMI Infinity, an AI-powered assistant for project professionals.

The Lab

In my personal time I’m experimenting with local LLMs (Ollama), n8n, Docker, and self-hosting to find new ways to work smarter. This site is where those experiments get documented.

Community & Leadership

Beyond the screen, I coach the Varsity Boys’ Soccer team at Dowling Catholic High School, applying the same principles of team building and process improvement to the pitch. At home, two kids (ages 4 and 3) provide the rest of the chaos.

This site is a digital sandbox where I share the journey of blending project management rigor with a builder mindset — from M365 tutorials to homelab builds. The opinions here are my own and don’t reflect those of my employer.
