I run Class IV, work in technology and security, and like being on the river.

The story

Why Class IV?

Class IV gets its name from whitewater rafting. A Class IV rapid takes skill and a good line. Seidel's Suckhole, north of Salida, Colorado, is a good reminder that confidence alone won't get you through.

I founded Class IV to help growing companies with serious technology challenges. After more than 20 years in IT leadership, cybersecurity, and data, I wanted to bring experienced leadership to companies that don't need a full-time CIO or CISO.

The work ranges from the cable in the wall to decisions in the boardroom. I've led technology teams, worked on acquisitions, and built security programs. I like being involved in both the decisions and the work that follows.

This site is more personal. It's a place for my tech thoughts and whatever else has caught my attention.
