I’m drawn to work where the scope matters and the outcome can change a product, a team, or the business. I bring technical, product, and business judgment together to find practical paths forward.

I lead in a low-ego, team-first way. I value direct feedback from all directions and build teams that are both inclusive and direct.

I expect people to move ambiguous problems forward with ownership. Different moments call for different kinds of leadership, but what always scales is clarity: understand the problem, weigh the tradeoffs, make a recommendation, and drive the next steps.

I’m also a maximizer by nature, energized by improving good work, spotting gaps others miss, and making strong teams stronger.

I grew up between rural ranch life in Montana and multicultural capital cities across Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. A small international high school in Kenya sharpened my adaptability, empathy, and appreciation for different perspectives.

I’m a self-taught engineer who built a business in Kenya. Living and working in places shaped by war, drought, and inequality deepened my empathy, while long rides and climbing reinforced grit, patience, and comfort with calculated risk.

A global upbringing still shapes how I lead.
