About Me

I'm a married father of three and I'm entering the third phase of my career: data analytics. After spending 6 years in the Air Force and a subsequent 12 years teaching English in Saudi Arabia, I'm excited about this journey into data analytics. Data has always been a passion of mine. I love geeking out over statistics and I can spend hours browsing charts, infographics, and maps. I'm fortunate that I have the opportunity to make this a career.
