At Govincorp, we bring a fresh perspective to traditional tech delivery and executions by integrating automation and data-driven insights, with strong industry professionals. Each day, I look forward to guiding clients toward solutions that make their operations smoother, smarter, and more resilient.
What would people be surprised to learn about you?
People are often surprised to learn I’m really into fishing. It’s where I recharge and sometimes come up with my best ideas. Being out on the water gives me a break from my tech-driven work and a fresh perspective.
Why are you involved with NC TECH and what's your favorite activity or event?
I’m involved with NC TECH to connect with other tech professionals and stay updated on trends that impact our region. My favorite event is the Annual Conference—it’s a great way to meet industry leaders, learn about new advancements, and discuss the future of tech in North Carolina.
What's your favorite hidden gem in North Carolina?
The trails at Umstead State Park are my go-to escape near the Triangle. Being out in nature gives me a sense of balance and a reminder of North Carolina’s beauty—it’s a nice contrast to the energy of the outdoor community, and keeps me grounded.
If you were a character from the fictional world (movies, shows, books) who would you be and why?:
If I were a character from the fictional world, I’d be Iron Man—mainly because my three kids would finally think I’m cool. It’s tough to impress them, but flying around in a high-tech suit, saving the day, and having my own AI assistant? That might just do the trick (and maybe get them to listen to me for once!). He’s also a blend of tech expertise and innovation, always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
