I founded Network Alliance in 1996, with a vision that, at the time, seemed impossible: Hosted Desktops/PCs in the cloud. Although today “the cloud” is considered just another part of the ever-improving technology landscape, the thought that the Internet would be capable of supporting such a system was unclear, as the vast majority of the online world, still quite small at the time, was using dial-up connections. Rather than accept that as fact, I followed through on this idea, believing high-level infrastructure and the Internet, would allow Network Alliance to provide anyone service usually reserved for huge organizations. As time went on, broadband connections became more common and security and IT needs became a necessity for all organizations, Network Alliance soon became self-sufficient, without venture support. I and Network Alliance have continued to grow. Network Alliance has become an award-winning company in cloud solutions and customer service.
I also donate my time to a number of non-profits, community outreach programs and am a volunteer fireman. Over the years I have sat on the Board of various organizations and currently sits on the Board of Directors for the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce. During a college internship, I came under the tutelage of Mario Morino, an important figure in the history of the Northern Virginia technology industry, while working for Morino’s non-profit including Netprenur.org.
