About

Technology rules our lives. It permeates nearly every aspect of our human experience - how we work, how we play, how we socialize, how we find love, and how we engage with our ever-connected world around us. This simple fact has fuelled a deep curiosity in me to understand the forces that have driven and shaped our world into what we see today, a curiosity that has driven much of my career, exploratory projects, and education thus far.

When I'm not working with clients on achieving their innovation ambitions, experimenting with the latest tech trend, or reading books about economics, philosophy, religion, or politics, I'm spending time with my wife and daughter, volunteering at my local church, playing the guitar, or trying to close those elusive fitness circles on my Apple Watch (love that dopamine hit).

Skills & Experience

My skills and experience find their greatest impact at the intersection of business & technology strategy, structured innovation methods, and data analytics. These skills, combined with my experience consulting for Fortune 100 clients, leading agile teams, and facilitating executive-level decisioning workshops, position me to catalyze meaningful change at the product, team, and organizational level.

Strategy

We live in a complex world, made increasingly so by the rapid pace of technology. This creates a challenging environment for modern businesses. I cut through the noise to understand which industry and technological trends will matter most to a given organization, and identify an action plan to move forward given unique organizational strengths and opportunities.

Innovation

Innovation is easy to talk about, and hard to do. I drive product-level and organization-level innovation by applying structured methods to identify and prioritize incremental, adjacent, and transformative innovation opportunities, and employ modern agile practices to drive value-centric execution.

Analytics

Data, both qualitative and quantitative, sit at the heart of any effective business strategy. I apply human-centered design methods to gather first-hand customer insights, combine them with quantitative measurements to drive strategic decision-making, and leverage modern data analytics tools to continually measure ongoing success metrics.

Portfolio

My portfolio includes highlights of both my professional and personal projects and experiences to date. As a continuous learner, some projects included are educational endeavors I engage in to keep my skills sharp and maintain a hands-on understanding of the latest tech trends.
