Welcome!
A lifelong technology enthusiast, I have parlayed a childhood fascination with tearing apart VCRs and alarm locks, and programming a Commodore 64 computer, into a decades long career as an information technology leader and influencer.
I have served as a trusted advisor to Directors, Vice Presidents, and C-Level executives, running multiple large scale IT and cybersecurity projects at the same time. With ongoing directives to architect, build, and manage secure and sustainable infrastructures that enable the business, deliver superior customer service, secure technological assets, and increase operational efficiency, I have been successful in repeatedly meeting, and exceeding, the strategic and cost-centered goals of any organization I have been a part of.
With a strong background in the Manufacturing and Insurance Industries, and experiences both in large corporate environments and fast-paced "organized" chaos of entrepreneurial organizations, and with a solid background in a myriad array of infrastructure technologies and software development, I am able to offer you a comprehensive and cross-disciplined view of IT, able to interface with those in the executive office suite as well as the technical workroom, in order to provide visionary and effective IT leadership at either the strategic or tactical level.
I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you about how I could bring immediate value to your organization in a similar role.

TESTIMONIAL
"I had the pleasure to have Jonathan on my team for three years. During that time, we architected/deployed an IT greenfield for our China join-venture, delivered a significant technology refresh of global IT Infrastructure, was acquired twice and successfully delivered a highly complex and fast-paced divestiture... all while continually improving our operational processes to improve both user experience and business continuity. Without Jonathan’s diverse/deep-expertise, the quality, speed, and successful delivery of these large projects would not have been possible. He’s a differentiator."

FAVORITE QUOTES
"The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency."
"Simplicity is not proof of truth. But since we can never understand true reality, if two models both explain the same facts, it is more rational to use the simpler one."
RECENT PROJECT
Earlier this year I served double-duty as project manager and principle architect of a half-million dollar project to revitalize and replace the IT network infrastructure in one of our manufacturing facilities. The network equipment we replaced had served the facility faithfully for many years, but it could no longer keep up with the demands of a contemporary operation. In addition to new hardware and refreshed cabling, I developed the standard design used to logically structure and secure the network. The result is an IT infrastructure capable of meeting the current and future needs of the facility for many years to come.
