As an advocate for public-private partnerships, he served for nine years as Director of External Affairs for AT&T in Central Ohio, where he spearheaded many local initiatives aimed at making tech training and equipment more accessible to underserved communities, including a Digital Drop Off Day, and statewide coding and app development workshops in collaboration with local nonprofits to provide workforce development training to under-resourced students.
