About Me

I am a passionate product practitioner and product thinker. Besides product management, leadership, and development, I'm a woodworker.

Woodworking requires incredible patience, persistence, and experimentation. You rarely get details right the first time (at least I don’t). You end up with many prototypes along the way— and some occasional firewood.

I see myself as a woodworker both in my shop and outside of it, continually curious about new and better ways of doing things. I have several books on my shelf dedicated to wood finishes (yes, wood finishes). And I’m constantly reading and learning, applying new methods and thinking deeply about things in the works or yet to come.

I love creating amazing work and have the patience and grit to get there. Whether a kitchen table, an original piece of software, or building a new team. Nothing worth doing, in my experience, is easy. And one of my strengths is seeing tasks through, persisting through the difficulties, and achieving results (cue the Rocky music here, right?)

So that’s a little about me. I’d love to connect and chat more with you. ​
