All facets of technology are at the center of my life. It propels the excitement of my learning every day. An early adopter with all things Internet related, I now explore AI (computer learning), 3D Printing, mobile, security, cryptocurrency, and drone technology. Exponential growth utilizing these technologies will continue to push our existence and how we interact with our surroundings. I am an avid fan of these topics which you can read about in my blog.
Born in Washington, DC, I grew up in Bethesda, MD and graduated from Providence College with a double major in Economics and Sociology. After undergrad I volunteered in Mexico for a year assisting grade school children. I then worked at CoStar Group managing two successful teams of researchers and writers for the commercial real estate information provider.
Inspired by the previous startup, I founded wapUcom, LLP consulting with companies in web and wireless development. As a side project DC WiFi was created as a nonprofit to help create a web of open wireless WiFi access points across Washington and beyond and educate people about wireless security.
I have been with Thomson Reuters Legal since 2006 and currently manage a team of Technical Client Managers for both the Large Law and Government segments. We serve the top law firms in the world, customizing legal technology solutions to assist in integrating our products and services into their workflows.
