Process
I don’t start from myself and move outwards: that’s backwards. I partner with people and businesses to understand their goals and pains. Throughout it all I make sure to creatively collaborate on achievable solutions.
Creativity
Understanding
Partnership
I do this using several frameworks and methodologies—like SCRUM, Design Thinking, Jobs-to-be-Done, Desirability-Viability-Feasibility modeling, Customer Journey Mapping, Impact mapping, and Business Process Modeling (to name a few).

Get to Know Me.
I’m more than a set of skills.
I’m a leader who loves rolling up his sleeves to get the job done. I love having a laugh with my team-mates over lunch or dinner. I am always happy to join them in the trenches to do what’s best for the customer and the company. I’m family oriented, life-focused, and open to a conversation.
