What Makes Ridgeline Different

Unique combination of deep technical expertise and strategic business thinking

Deep Technical + Business Expertise

I speak both languages fluently - coding with developers in the morning, presenting to executives in the afternoon. This bridge between technical implementation and business strategy is where real transformation happens.

AI Practitioner, Not Just Consultant

I use AI daily for prototyping, automation, and problem-solving. This hands-on experience means I recommend what actually works, not what sounds impressive in presentations.

Proven Leadership at Scale

Successfully managed 40+ person teams across multiple geographic locations. I understand the human side of technology transformation as much as the technical side.

Client-First Approach

My goal is to become your trusted advisor, not just a vendor. I focus on building relationships that deliver measurable business impact over the long term.

Results-Focused Track Record

20+ years delivering enterprise-scale digital transformation for Fortune 500 brands including Harley-Davidson, FedEx, Royal Caribbean, and Vistaprint.

My Philosophy

“Technology should amplify human potential, not replace it.”

I help businesses integrate AI and modern tools into existing processes to make teams faster and more effective while maintaining what works. The goal isn't to revolutionize everything—it's to strategically enhance your capabilities where it matters most.
