I’m a native of Kansas City, Missouri, where I live with my wife, Maura Cluthe, and our dogs, Rosie and Gus

I’m a self-taught tech nerd, starting with an Apple II in high school, and working with a Mac Plus in college to edit the newspaper and yearbook. My first personal computer was a Mac IIfx with a whopping 80MB of storage! I remember wondering what I’d ever do with all that space. Years later and I’ve become a diverse technology leader, able to manage a variety of systems (and always wanting to learn more!), staff, vendors, and help constituents at all levels of expertise with their technology needs.

My wife and I are collectors: art, toy VW Beetles, toy Robots, vinyl (both toys and records), books, plants, Lego sets, etc. The rule in our house is if we own three or more of a thing, it’s a collection. I’m a voracious and eclectic reader. I also like to doodle and dabble a bit with photography.
