My name is Scott. I'm addicted to all things DevOps, IT, programming, coffee, and running. When I was 25 I started a consultancy focused on product support for the IBM DevOps suite of products. Four and a half years and a fantastic ride later, I decided to move to Australia seeking a completely new and different adventure. After a successful tenure at a leading consultancy in the Australia/New Zealand region, I've returned home to the USA and am currently providing DevOps consulting services.
I'm an avid NC State Wolfpack fan, of which I proudly hold degrees in both Computer Science and Business Management - Finance.
I'm passionate about consulting, solving problems, and I prefer to do so in the company of good people.
