About
It is hard to give a decent account of someone in a few hundred words, but especially hard when you yourself are the subject. I will do my best.
My primary motivation in life is to be a great husband and dad. This takes a large portion of my waking attention and effort. Actually, being a good dad and husband takes a lot more effort than anyone ever tells you. It is like a vast, potentially infinite garden that requires constant nurturing and maintenance. But it's also the highest ROI you can get on those calories. It is a garden of many delights and wonders.
Beyond that, I'm a builder. Or a hacker. Not in the cybercrime sense, but the original Silicon Valley sense. I like to understand, build, break, and rebuild systems for fun and profit.
Between the hours of about 8 to 6 (give or take) I am a VP Product at ZoomInfo and lead a division of our product org focused on AI transformation and readiness. My teams own MCP, agent skills, gtm.ai, product operations, BI, growth & PLG, and pricing & packaging.
I also find a lot of personal fulfilment through mentoring. I mentor veterans through ACP (a great initiative, go check it out 馃嚭馃嚫), and I'm an advisor to a seed stage (stealth) geospatial security startup.
I previously co-founded Workbounce, which was acquired by ZoomInfo in 2024. Before that I was an early employee at Peakon, that was acquired by Workday for $700m.
The common thread throughout my career is that I've always found myself surrounded by interesting people doing interesting and hard things. I am unsure if this is luck or skill on my part. LONG MAY IT CONTINUE.
