I build people and technology focused companies and teams.

I spend most of my free time writing, and working on limited consulting engagements. I write about software development, leadership, business operations. and whatever is in my head. If you are interested in my writings, check out my Medium or look at the bottom of this page.

​

I consider myself a leader who focuses on four values: authenticity, communication, performance, and culture.

​

​​Authenticity

Performance dramatically increases when people are given a chance to be themselves and to take risks. Team members need an environment in which they can speak their minds in a clear manner while respecting opinions around them.

Communication

Great teams need to be able to work well as a group and with other groups. In my roles, I have significantly improved team communication by treating it as a skill to develop in my people.

​

Performance

A foundation of values isn't important unless your company thrives financially. Good teams want great compensation, benefits, opportunities, and growth. Great people want to work for growing companies.

Culture

Creating an exceptional engineering culture takes years of effort. Your customers aren't going to love your company until your employees do. I am most passionate about creating a great place to work and developing my team. I drive a feedback centric culture to promote internal growth. All leaders at Fifty Seven Pounds were grown within the company from lower roles, rather than external hires.
