Product is a Team Sport

Building bridges, not silos

The best products emerge when engineering, design, and business work as true partners. I believe in breaking down walls between functions—not through process, but through shared context and mutual respect. When everyone understands the 'why' behind decisions, alignment happens naturally.

Cross-functional empathy over handoffs
Shared context creates shared ownership
The best idea wins, regardless of source

Ambiguity is an Asset

Turning uncertainty into opportunity

I thrive in environments where the path isn't clear yet. While some see ambiguity as risk, I see it as the space where real innovation happens. My approach is to move fast, learn faster, and let customer feedback illuminate the way forward.

Ship Value, Not Features

Outcomes over outputs

Every feature should connect to revenue, retention, or competitive differentiation. I'm ruthless about cutting scope that doesn't serve real customer needs and obsessive about measuring what actually matters. The goal isn't to build more—it's to build what moves the needle.

Life Outside Work

What makes me, me

Because there's more to life than roadmaps and standups. Here's what fuels my curiosity and keeps me balanced.

Powder Chaser

Nothing beats fresh powder at sunrise. Snowboarding is my reset button - it's where I find flow state off the screen.

Favorite mountain: Park City

Iron Therapy

The gym is where I solve my hardest problems. There's something about heavy deadlifts that makes product roadmaps feel lighter.

Perpetual Student

Always reading, always learning. Whether it's business strategy, psychology, or random Wikipedia rabbit holes at 2am.

Currently reading: varies wildly

Builder at Heart

Software, furniture, systems - if it can be built, I want to build it. The joy is in the creation, not just the creation.

Built this site from scratch

Food Obsessed

Self-proclaimed foodie who plans trips around restaurants. Cooking is my creative outlet when I need a break from screens.

Will travel for tacos

Tech Enthusiast

Love diving deep into new technologies. AI, automation, dev tools - I get genuinely excited about elegant solutions.

Has too many side projects
