Born and raised in Portland, OR, USA. Surrounded by big mountains, rushing rivers, and lush rainforests, the great outdoors are central to who I am and how I enjoy life.

As a child I wanted to be a pilot and an architect, but I settled for becoming an inventor. Unfortunately, higher education doesn’t offer a degree in inventing, so I went to school for engineering. After a few years I put school on hold to travel the world, and never looked back.

Returning from my travels I settled down to become an offset-printing Quality Control Manager, a Packaging Designer, a leathergoods Workshop Manager, a Packaging and Display Developer, a Product Manager, and finally, a Consultant on a wide array of topics.

I have a knack for figuring out how things work and an obsession with figuring out how to make them work better. My approach is rooted in creativity and supported by process and I love iteration; failing fast and failing often is the quickest way to a viable solution.
