I have a passion for crafting Business Intelligence Solutions for my user groups. My experience includes almost 15 years of SQL Server involvement with the last 12 years focused specifically on Business Intelligence, SharePoint, OLAP, SSRS, and Decision Support solutions. Currently, I am a Business Intelligence Architect in the healthcare industry, and I also teach database and analytics classes for Kennesaw State University, Southern New Hampshire University, and Reinhardt University. My education includes an MBA and an undergraduate in Accounting (yes I am a reformed accountant!), both from Kennesaw State University. I enjoy every day by trying to grow my faith and spend precious time with my family. I have been happily married to my wife of over 20 years, and we have two teenagers one who we home school with the help of a University Model School, Cornerstone Prep in Acworth, GA (cornerstoneprep.org). Our other child is a Construction Management major at KSU's Southern Poly / Marietta campus. We are a soccer and Cross Country (XC) family who play, coach, and referee soccer or run for fun most every day. For several years, our family has volunteered (and played with the dogs and cats) at Etowah Valley Humane Society in Cartersville, GA.
