Interim Chief Information Officer
I started my IT career as a computer operator in the data processing department at Pearl River Resort. While not sure what I was planning to be in my professional career, I developed a drive to watch and learn everything I could about the IT and casino world. Twenty-seven years later, I have worked in every facet of the IT environment. I currently oversee IT Operations, Applications, and Network Engineering for Pearl River Resort. During my tenure, the IT department has been recognized for industry excellence in tribal gaming for our work in opening the PRR Sportsbook. I am most proud of the fact that over 65% of our team is comprised of tribal members. As a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, my purpose for IT goes beyond systems, interfaces, and network topology. My heart is for the Tribe and it’s continued success in economic development. I judge my success by the success of the individual members of my IT team. I pray for our continued growth and prosperity.
