Bio

I grew up in South East Idaho and am a member of the Montana-based Assiniboine Tribe and a member of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society. I currently work for Broadcom as a Mainframe Technical Consultant specializing in educating and assisting customers with integration of scheduling products like CA7 & ESP.

I started my IT journey about 10 years ago working with distributed environments. Then 6 years ago I started my mainframe journey with IBM, and switching to mainframe has been the best move I’ve ever made in my career. While at IBM, I authored a technical publication related to blockchain and AI. Before working in IT, I operated my own DJ business, providing professional sound and entertainment services for weddings, parties, and other events.
