I grew up in Florida. Went to school in Michigan. Been living in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1998.

I have 20+ years experience and have held nearly every role within a software company: R&D, Product Management / Marketing, Sales Engineering, Professional Services, Support, Finance, Facilities, and HR.

That experience gives me perspective on what's needed at the beginning when starting a company, and to know what's lurking around the corner as the company grows.

Some Odd Facts About Me:

Rescued a sea turtle 80 feet underwater
Helped design the first solar powered car to cross the country
Jumped off a mountain to paraglide down
Very comfortable with a chainsaw
Test drove a Ferrari 458 Italia in Las Vegas
Been electrocuted more times than I'd like to admit
Wakeboarded behind a jetski
Drink a bullet-coffee nearly every day
Can swim farther than 30 meters underwater
Flown in a helicopter more than my fair share
