For you: your home network, remote work or gaming setup, internet-connected devices, and securing your identity. Home automation, media integration, solar and EV charging, and “on-the-go” tech: two years, 16k miles, and over 70 days of Class-C RV camping taught me what works, so you don’t have to experiment.

For your business or non-profit: I manage your vendors and partners and coordinate their work toward the result you need, so you can focus on your mission.

I am Not Afraid

My drive is to never stop learning, experimenting and keeping an open mind.

My true passion is enabling You, Your Business, or Your Enterprise! How? I look for nuance and have a desire to "leave no one" behind. Technology should aid Your Outcomes, not the other way around. I build end-to-end processes that scale across technology disciplines, shaped to fit your business.

Be NotAfraid with me!

Curious early onEven as a kid, I was the one asking how things worked. That curiosity never left.

Born, raised, and educated in Germany, I came up through the German dual vocational system: working in industry while completing formal technical education.

That foundation carried me into plant IT, including helping build a new manufacturing plant in Mexico from the ground up, then managed services and leadership roles in Fortune 50 and growing cloud-services organizations: 20+ years of turning complexity into reliable outcomes.

A lot of the work is strategy and leadership: clarifying direction, owning outcomes, and making sure technical decisions actually land. Endpoints and Microsoft 365 are often where that work happens, but what matters is making sound decisions and seeing them through. Through NotAfraid Consulting, I bring that to select projects alongside my full-time role.
