As the son of an entrepreneur, I learned the value of hard work, leadership, and how business transforms lives.  In 2001, I co-founded ExtenData, an automated data capture and IoT solutions provider for the manufacturing, distribution, transportation, and healthcare industries. Over 1,200 companies have used our software and services to track assets and inventory at critical points in their global supply chain.

Serving as Co-Founder, CEO, and Board Member for 19 years, I know our success was derived from the culture that we created. We found and developed the most talented people in our industry who shared our values and were driven by transformation.

I take pride in leading with authenticity, compassion, and showing up. Seeing the impact that Vistage has on CEOs— helping them build and execute on their vision, providing feedback, and offering outside and unbiased perspectives— allows leaders to create impactful growth. As a former Vistage member, Vistage Worldwide was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the sale of ExtenData. Becoming a Vistage Chair gives me the opportunity to help other CEOs transform their organizations and lives.

In addition to my work with leaders and Vistage, I enjoy spending time with my wife, children, and grandchildren. I enjoy cycling with friends, am an avid booster for ASU collegiate wrestling, a karaoke champion, and I'm involved in my church.

My work as a Vistage Chair is to shape better leaders who build better organizations, which creates better communities.
