I moved to Detroit in 2013 to teach high school math on the city’s west side. Analytics consulting is a lot like teaching; we tackle complex problems by breaking down our solution in simple, manageable steps for our clients.

Experience

I provide data analytics consulting services to clients in a variety of industries with a focus on manufacturing and distribution companies. I help my clients through their data journey from data ingestion, integration, and warehousing to business intelligence, dashboard development, predictive modeling, and optimization.

Additionally, I help clients understand the importance of analytics technology like Alteryx, Tableau, SQL, and Power BI to navigate an increasingly competitive business environment. My clients appreciate my commitment to hearing their needs and pain points and building pragmatic analytics solutions to their problems. I believe in working myself out of a job, which means helping my clients build all the capabilities required to succeed once our project is over. I’ve authored thought leadership around the importance of cleansing and normalizing data and have helped my clients go from low data maturity to using analytics for everyday business decisions. 

I have a B.S. in statistics and a B.A. in economics from the University of Georgia and a M.Sc. in applied statistics from the University of Michigan. I’m an active mentor for the Midnight Golf Program in Detroit, a youth development organization dedicated to equipping high school seniors with the tools needed to succeed in college, in their careers, and beyond.

I was born and raised in Augusta, Ga., and currently reside in Detroit. Outside of work, I spend time with my wife, Calyssa, and our goldendoodle, Aaliyah. I enjoy golfing, hanging out with friends and family, and watching UGA football. Go Dawgs!
