I make priorities, ownership, risks and dependencies easier to see, so good people spend less time coordinating and more time building. Outside of work, I’m curious about a lot of things: our family, life on our farm, money, chess and whatever project comes next.

Experience
I make priorities, owners, risks and dependencies visible, so leaders across product, engineering, data, risk and privacy can make decisions and move together. That includes regulated work where mistakes affect real customers.
Pods, epic ownership, flexible capacity, living roadmaps and operating reviews: the system that lets an organization keep its commitments even as priorities change.
Coaching Scrum Masters, Product Owners and new leaders, and covering for teams when they need it. Two Product Owners asked me to stay with their teams permanently after I filled in.
Outside work
Building a comic business, paying down debt and helping others budget, becoming a first-generation farmer, and building apps and games for fun. Every new challenge teaches me something I bring back to work.
I use AI every day to build faster. It has helped me ship more than 50 apps, games and tools, several of them live sites people use. The ideas, the product calls, the testing and the final say are mine. AI speeds up the building, but deciding what’s worth building and knowing when something isn’t right still takes a person. That’s the same judgment I bring to delivery work.
