I am part of one of the coolest teams at Microsoft. In my role as Senior Solution Advisor I get to hang out with some really great people both here in Toronto as well as around the world. My role is to connect with decision makers in development teams all across Canada to understand their challenges and to share their successes and stories of solutions built on the Microsoft platform. My focus is everything from traditional client development, through mobile, web, and onto the cloud.
More broadly, as part of the Microsoft Canada team, my team and I are responsible for connecting with the Canadian Developer and IT Pro communities through blogs, webcasts, community engagement and events. My team and I produce the TechDays events that travel across Canada.
Before coming to Microsoft, I most recently worked as a Sales Engineer for Red Hat and helped to establish their Canadian sales force, and before that, I worked as a technical Sales Consultant at Oracle focusing on enterprise architecture. I have been working with customers of all sizes across Canada and the US for over 12 years.
In my free time, I enjoy digital photography and technology in general. In June 2011 I will be riding 200km from Toronto to Niagara Falls with the Ride to Conquer Cancer and I have committed to raise at least $3,000 for cancer research.

I graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University with a Bachelor of Science and currently live in Cambridge, Ontario with my wife and two children.
