I have a true passion for web applications, product development, web marketing and innovation. I enjoy looking at complex problems and creating web based solutions. I've had the privilege of working with teams of really talented people to build great products that make people’s lives better.
I've worked in a number of different capacities, both with boot strapped start-ups, later stage and venture backed businesses. Like many multi-disciplinary product developers, I've worked on business plans, business development, strategy, product development and marketing.
I continue to focus on building technology solutions that really help people and make a difference in the world.
