Leading

For fifteen years I have led and served product and engineering teams with creativity, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit.

Together we’ve built some excellent software and delivered real value, and now I want to help you and your team do the same.

Building

I love to build things that people value. I love to discover, structure, and solve important problems. That moment when we break through? When we can suddenly imagine new possibilities? I love that.

I want to help your team see farther, structure wicked problems, and build something that customers love.

Growing

I love to coach and grow great teams. I love to help product managers, designers, and tech leads find their best stride.

Wherever your team is, we can evolve their practice and new create spaces where cool things can happen.

What next?

I believe that building great software products is all about establishing a great learning culture. A high performing product team is a machine for exploring and discovering insights about our users.

Likewise, continuous learning is an essential component of helping great teams refine and master their craft.

Frameworks like those defined in “Escaping the Build Trap” (Perri) and “Continuous Discovery Habits” (Torres) are the gold standard for modern product teams. Books like “Accelerate” define a scientific approach to high quality software delivery.

By reading and learning these books in facilitated sessions and practical workshops with their peers, your teams evolve towards a scientific method for developing great software.

Work is great, but have you tried play?

I bring the best of myself to my work, and to do that I need time to be a whole person. My family, my friendships, and my hobbies are sources of energy, creativity, and inspiration.

Some of my hobbies are an extension of my profession, like the mobile apps I build for community organizers, or the Carbon Removal game I’m coding.

But you should also look for me out in the wilderness - camping, canoeing, hiking, skiing, or cycling.

Or maybe in the woodshop, the garden, or curled up with a good book.

Later, you’ll probably find me hosting friends: cooking great food, playing board games, and building community.
