About me

I have spent over 30 years working in telecommunications, networking, and management roles, having had the privilege to be CTO, Technical Director and CEO, and I have been instrumental in helping businesses grow.

In 2013 I started an e-commerce business called SJW Gems that let me combine my love for technology with my interest in gemstones. I developed it to have the freedom to travel and work from anywhere. I also serve as a council member for GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group), providing strategic insights and consulting services in telecommunications, Internet, and technology to organizations worldwide.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I’m deeply committed to giving back to the community. I’ve volunteered as an SME mentor, served as Treasurer for Friends of the Western Ground Parrot, and earned a Graduate Gemologist certification from the Gemological Institute of America. Whether I’m leading a team, mentoring emerging professionals, or exploring new business opportunities, I thrive on challenges and am driven by a passion for innovation and excellence.
