I describe myself as a semi-stack developer with a design background. When I got my start in the software space I was designing and building customer MySpace pages. This was the impetus for my interest in designing web-based experiences which I did for a number of years. My jump over the fence into the development side of the house was prompted by the need to understand why what was built didn't match the experience I designed. I call myself a semi-stack developer becuase I'm always learning a bit more about the entire development ecosystem.

Since then, advances in web technologies have fueled my desire to learn a little bit about everything I can get my hands on. I'm comfortable working on concepts with design teams, pair programming with engineers, interviewing users, optimizing growth funnels, and speaking to a product's vision.

Here's a little bit of my background:

• Director, Product Management - Optimizely (Jun 2022 - Present)

• Principal Product Manager - Conductor (Nov 2020 - May 2022)

• Senior Product Manager - Gatsby (Jan 2020 - Oct 2020)

• Product Manager - Flywheel (May 2018 - Nov 2019)

• Co-Founder - Campground Booking (Oct 2016 - Mar 2019)

• Senior Product Designer - Chargify (Aug 2015 - Mar 2018)

• Founder/Creative Director - Tinypint (Jul 2011 - Jul 2015)

When I'm not working in the digital world, I enjoy traveling and doing a bit of woodworking/leatherworking. I've found that these hobbies help me truly disconnect and engage my mind in different and new ways.
