My Story

After 28 years in corporate America leading enterprise technology initiatives, a single calendar invite ended my career in February 2026. The layoff hit hard — but it also forced me to ask the question that changed everything:

“What if I bet on myself instead of rushing back into the same system?”

That question became the catalyst for this new chapter. I’m now applying decades of strategic leadership, systems thinking, and transformation experience to building something of my own.

Why DKM Legacy?

DKM is more than my initials — it represents the guiding principles that have defined my journey:

• Determination — to keep moving forward even when the path isn’t clear.
• Knowledge — gained through decades of enterprise leadership and complex problem-solving.
• Momentum — the power of small, consistent actions that build into big change.

This blog is where I share the real, unfiltered journey — the lessons, the challenges, the strategic decisions, and the personal growth — as I move from corporate technology executive to business owner.

Welcome to DKM Legacy.
I’m glad you’re here.
