Technology took me far. My heart never left home.
I was born and raised right here in the Clemson community. Early in my career, I had the privilege of serving local business leaders as a consultant — building the foundational relationships that define a community.
I spent the next three decades in the eye of the storm, working at the highest levels of the global technology industry. I navigated the cloud revolution and scaled the infrastructure of the world's largest corporations. Those years gave me unparalleled expertise — but my heart never left home.
I've returned to the community that raised me — not just to raise my own family, but to serve the businesses that make our region thrive. C3 is my way of bringing the gold standard of enterprise IT back to my neighbors.
Decades at the forefront of the digital age
Across 30+ years in IT — including leadership and principal engineering roles at some of the world's largest technology companies — I've seen firsthand what makes digital infrastructure resilient — how scale, security, and stability come from a blend of human expertise and intelligent automation. At C3, we don't just bring you the tools; we bring the experience required to manage them.
Why any of this should matter to you
A twelve-person machine shop in Central does not need someone who has run infrastructure for a Fortune 100 company. That is true, and worth saying plainly.
What it does need is someone who has already seen the failure. Backups that were never tested. A network that grew by accretion until nobody could draw it. A ransomware event at two in the morning. Thirty years at that scale means most problems arriving at a small business are ones I've watched play out somewhere larger, usually more than once — and the fix is rarely the expensive option. It's almost always the boring one that nobody got around to.
The other half is who picks up the phone. Larger providers route you to whoever is free, working from notes. Here you get the engineer who built your environment and remembers it. For a business under a few hundred people, that continuity is worth more than an org chart.
