Every day, businesses make complex, high-stakes technology decisions without anyone on their side of the table representing their interests. I started RRP Advisory because I saw that gap firsthand: vendors are built to sell their own solution whether or not it fits, internal IT teams are stretched too thin to vet every option, and business leaders are left making six- and seven-figure decisions with limited time and unclear information.

My perspective comes from three vantage points. Early in my career I worked in sales, which taught me how vendors think and how deals look from their side of the table. As a Solutions Engineer at one of the largest Technology Solutions Distributors in the Channel, I saw the real value of an independent advisor sitting on the buyer's side. And today, as a SOC compliance auditor, I see what happens after the deal — where a solution that looked great in theory falls short in practice. That combination shapes every recommendation I make: a clear view of how deals get made, and an even clearer view of what actually holds up once a solution is in place.

I studied mechanical engineering at the University of Georgia before finding my way into IT and cybersecurity, and I now live in Greenville, SC with my wife and our dog — usually on a golf course or cheering on the Dawgs and Braves when I'm not working with clients.

Above all, RRP Advisory is built on a simple principle: to serve others humbly, as Galatians 5:13 says. That's not just scripture I like — it's the standard I hold myself to in every client relationship.
