Candidate Statement:
I have thoroughly enjoyed the past year as a member of the current SBC Board of Directors in the Treasurer role. The current state of the industry affords tremendous new opportunities for the organization to go over the next 2-3 years. As a result, I have decided to seek election for the Vice President position for 2024-2025 so that I can have a larger impact on shaping the future of the organization.

Should I have the privilege of being elected to this position, I believe the wide exposure I have geographically and across technologies such as P-LTE and Private Data Networks will provide an excellent perspective to drive strategy for the benefit of the organization. As in my current Treasurer role, my commitment will always be in service of the SBC mission to the benefit of membership.

Thank you for your consideration for the Vice President position.
