MILE 0The Start

Systems built from the ground up.

From 2021 to 2026, I led regional operations across Sacramento, Solano, and Yolo counties for Bay Area Community Services, growing the region from a single crisis navigation program and 13 staff into a full portfolio of programs, including the agency's Full Service Partnership (FSP) build, with 301 FTEs across the region. In 2026, I'm joining WellSpace Health as Vice President of Co-occurring Continuum Services. Off the clock, I coach leaders through Cadence Leadership+Communication, and I currently serve as VP of the Association of Behavioral Health Contractors.

MILE 13.1Halfway — Home

The part that actually matters most.

Married, with two kids keeping me humble: a 10-year-old and an 8-year-old. Everything above is only possible with my wife as a partner in it; she makes the whole thing work.

MILE 20The Wall — Passions

Where the miles and the loyalty come from.

Personal splits

Marathons finished6
Distance runningStarted in my 30s
Family timeBallet & theater

Every marathon is the same negotiation: legs versus willpower somewhere around mile 20. Six times in, willpower's undefeated.

Sports loyalty (non-negotiable)

Liverpool FC Sacramento Kings San Francisco 49ers SF Giants San Jose Sharks
  • Ballet & theater: a favorite outing with the family, and the counterweight to a week of case reviews and box scores.
  • YNWA: Liverpool sets the mood for the rest of the sports calendar. Still running Klopp's "heavy metal football" energy into every Monday morning huddle.
Who I Look To
You have to change from a doubter to a believer.

Whether it's a county contract, a coaching conversation, or just talking Liverpool's back four, always happy to connect.
