Business Communications, Telephony and Convergence Specialist
Richmond, Virginia Area
I wake up every morning fascinated with the new technologies, new opportunities, and new possibilities in business communications. I have been driven by a lust for the newest of the new that is also practically useful.
I love working with my team of engineers and researchers to continually develop and refine our collected knowledge and experience. My years of management experience have taught me to focus great ideas to become useful reality that improves the lives of people with whom I work.
In addition to my career interests, I’m also an avid sports fan and participant. Whether attending an Atlanta Braves game or coaching my son’s youth wrestling team I love the thrill of competition and success.
My goal for Centritech is to enlarge its market share and to become a national player in the data-voice-vide convergence industry.

I acquired this company in 2004 and have taken it from a general information technology firm to Virginia's premier voice over IP (VoIP) equipment and services company.
Having focused Centritech on Asterisk based VoIP solutions we are able to provide more finely tuned solutions for our customers. Through ongoing research and development we consistently deliver cutting edge technology and exemplary customer service.
As an ardent supporter of open source software, I and my company are heavily involved in the open source community and contribute on an ongoing basis.
