I’m a mid-continent product marketer lucky enough to breathe the rarefied air of Denver each day. My first passion was geology, but after a few years of gold and oil exploration work, I fell prey to the siren call of the software industry.
Ultimately, my goals with this site are (1) to create an outlet for my ideas and research, and (2) to amuse and inform my friends, colleagues, and – I hope – new acquaintances. Feel free to connect with me via LinkedIn.
My passions include: my family and daughter, product marketing, grammar, gardening, biking, skiing, dogs, coffee, travel, and breakfast burritos (the last is more of an obsession).
When it comes to my marketing career, I think the section below does a bang-up job of laying out my strengths and focus. Here’s a fairly recent version of my resume.
