Interviews

I welcome interviews and consulting opportunities! My nearly thirty years of working in the technology industry runs the spectrum of hardware, software, cloud, on premise, cybersecurity, network, telecom, systems, radio comms, fiber, infrastructure, and so much more. In my current capacity I have worked with more than four hundred vendors, resellers, channel partners, and professional services to drive technology vision for my community.

My organization has been recognized many times for the innovative initiatives that has elevated our popularity with the mainstream media. This includes a number of magazine, podcast, and streaming interviews. I’ll be the first to raise my hand for how odd it is a rural Texas city is constantly being recognized for innovation. We make a lot of noise when it comes to municipal government technology and I love it. One of my favorite things to do these days is collaborate on a great story. Shoot me a message at shane@countryexec.com if you’d like to chat!
