LIFE
Vancouver, WA
I’m a product manager focused on delivering elegant and impactful software experiences. I strive to make sure all participants (users, clients, team members, nonusers) feel heard and involved in our pursuit of business objectives together, under one unified approach.
At home I’m the humble husband to my partner Alex who runs a low-waste and sustainability business in Vancouver, and the father to an incredible child.

The Road(map) to PM
2012
The Software Sales Stage
Discoverorg
Out of college, into the recession, and into software sales. This role taught me how versatile and complex software could be - and how it could solve incredible business problems. I found though I could sell, I’d rather work closer with people.

The Recruiting Stage
kforce/52LTD
Helping people find awesome jobs in tech was super satisfying. Working as a technical recruiter I began to see the world of tech more intimately and how vision, intelligence, and diligence could combine to solve unique problems. I began to wonder how I could get closer to the code and begin building these solutions myself.

The Product Management Break-In
Metal Toad
While solving a problem for myself and building out a personal CRM tool to better manage relationships - I found an avenue into Product Management. At Metal Toad I went wide as a PM - solving problems for 12 concurrent clients and helping everyone from The Golden Globes to DC Comics manage their products.

Life
Beyond Work
What started as a hobby became a passion, what was passion became a service. Photography has allowed me to find an artistic outlet and bolstered my appreciation for the outdoors, the land, and our legacy.
My partner Alex is an incredible woman and a pillar of our community - this is her dream and it is an honor to bear witness to this endeavor.
