From age ten, I was immersed in my father’s hardware store, absorbing the nuts and bolts of building three thriving businesses through hands-on work in financials, logistics, and guerrilla marketing. My ADHD fueled a learn-by-doing approach, driving me to master skills through action rather than books. Discovering technology’s power to deliver real-time business insights and streamline operations, I founded Stage One Productions to pursue my passion. Teaching myself Microsoft-centric technologies, COBOL, Python, and JavaScript, I built applications and websites, honing my ability to manage IT operations and bridge the gap between business and technology.

I excel at tackling complex challenges, from remediating messy data to optimizing workflows and managing IT infrastructure. Leading IT teams and overseeing operations, I’ve ensured system reliability, security, and scalability while acting as a translator between technical and business stakeholders. With an empathetic, no-nonsense approach, I actively listen, ask pointed questions, and foster collaboration to align perspectives, whether upgrading servers, streamlining helpdesk operations, or designing real-time financial reporting. A core lesson I’ve carried forward is empowering clients by mentoring their staff, ensuring they control their systems and intellectual property without external dependencies.

My mission is to empower clients to steer their own destiny with robust, efficient operations and clear insights. Through diligent root-cause analysis and transparent communication, I guide businesses to make informed decisions, confidently saying “no” when needed to stay focused. At Stage One Productions, I combine IT management expertise, operational know-how, and hands-on problem-solving to deliver solutions that enhance visibility and performance. With curiosity, grit, and a commitment to client success, I’m dedicated to turbocharging your business while keeping you firmly in the driver’s seat.
