J.R. leads the presales engineering team for Axon in the Asia Pacific region serving public safety organisations through buyer enablement: solving business problems with modern technology solutions.
He’s spent the past 25 years in the IT solutions space as an SME focused on connectivity, workflow- and resource-optimisation – with an emphasis on automation and security – having a keen interest in data-driven decision making and results-based value realisation.
While drawn to bleeding-edge, disruptive technology, J.R. is equally drawn to solutions which serve a greater philanthropic purpose; his efforts and employment objectives over the majority of his career have been focused on supporting non-profit organisations and education, health, and public safety sectors which provide positive outcomes for the betterment of society.
J.R. has provided consultation and implementation guidance for every Axon technology project across ANZ policing agencies, and continues to partner for growth and evolution as opportunity arises and needs change. His areas of specialisation include: Integrations, identity and access management, IoT, endpoint security, network security, cloud migration and digital transformation.
Originally from Arizona, he spent time in Australia through 2010-2011 and permanently relocated with his family to Melbourne in 2016.
