I make sure the technology is running smooth.  Like my grandfather always said, “A defragged, up-to-date OS is a happy OS.”

Before Brighton, what was your professional role?

I was a Lab Coordinator at Webster University in St. Louis, MO.  I would also help the Faculty and Staff with technology issues.

Favorite thing about working at Brighton?

My favorite things about Brighton so far is all the cool new people I’ve met.

What was your first week working at Brighton like?

My first week at Brighton was pleasurable.  I would compare it to seeing a beautiful sunset on a cool, crisp autumn day.

Laughing at Robb’s jokes, I can see the ice rink in Shaw park from my desk, there is an abundance of Twizzlers on the day of Cardinal’s day games.

Quieter than the second.

Fun fact about yourself?

Fun fact… my mom married a founding member of the Moody Blues and moved to England. He retired from touring and we see them every couple years. If I ever forget their anniversary date, I just look it up on Wikipedia.

I sleep in a house in the city. I live at an ice rink. The staff has allowed me to redecorate! Though I still haven’t managed to turn a locker room into a cot room yet…
