I love solving problems and finding creative solutions.


My career journey has included a combination of roles that have allowed me to develop a richer, deeper understanding of human behavior, and in general how to "make it work!" [props to Tim Gunn and Project Runway]


Being flexible has been an asset for me, especially working with startups. You don't always have the benefit of a massive team to handle every detail! I've enjoyed wearing multiple hats and in general, being someone who gets shit done.


I love fresh ideas, imagining the future, seeing things from new perspectives, and solving problems of all kinds. 


I like solving problems in my personal life too. As a metal detectorist and member of The RingFinders, I help people find lost precious items, and contribute to cleaner coastlines and parks as well. I share my stories at geekybeach.com and one piece of advice: even if you think your ring fits nice and snug, ocean water will prove otherwise. Don't get too mad at your spouse if their ring goes for a swim.


I am the first Polywork user to create a metal detecting badge! If any other detectorists join, please reach out.
