✨ About me...

👨‍👧‍👧 I'm a father of two incredible kiddos, a lifelong learner, adventurer, and a realistic optimist. I've lived in San Francisco since 2007.

💼 I've spent the past 13+ years working for technology and media companies on product, marketing & monetization. I'm proud to have helped hundreds of thousands of businesses accomplish their business goals and hundreds of millions of consumers to have enjoyable internet experiences. Today, my focus is on helping people build positive sum orgs, products & careers 🤝

📖 In my downtime, I enjoy reading, writing, travel, meeting interesting people, and spending time outdoors hiking, cycling, running & skiing. 🚴‍♂️ 🏃

My Life Stack Ranking (note: this is here mostly to remind myself!)

  1. I am a human first. I am one with all other humans. They are a part of me and I am a part of them. All people fundamentally want and need the same things: Safety, Connection, Self-Esteem, Exploration, Love, Purpose, and ultimately, Transcendence.
  2. In order to be my best self and present my best self to others, I must take care of my body, my mind, and my soul. My favorite ways to take care of my body are getting good sleep, cycling, running, and skiing. To take care of my mind, I like to spend time alone reading and writing. What nurtures my soul are meditation, romantic love, and deep breathing.
  3. I am a father. I strive to always be my best self around my kids. I aim to prevent any other responsibilities from impinging upon my ability to be the best parent I can be.
  4. I am a thinker and creator. I’m increasingly interested in publicly sharing my ideas to attract other like-minded people and opportunities toward me.
  5. My life’s work is to empower people I admire and who inspire me, to become better versions of themselves.
  6. I strive to make choices in my daily life that enable me live according to these principles and seek to enable others to do the same.
