Mouthing Off:

The most misunderstood aspect of my job: "It's probably the same for most IT professionals: Keeping systems running smoothly with little or no downtime, as well as keeping a high level of customer service, takes an incredible amount of teamwork and behind-the-scenes effort."

Chief difference between McCarran and other airports: "We are the largest common-use airport in North America and the third largest in the world. This allows us to give unparalleled service to our flying customers as well as my airline customers."

I love technology when: "It really helps to change a process for the better."

I hate technology when: "It is just for technology's sake. I want every vendor who comes here to blow me away with what their technology can do for me."
