In Good Company
I’ve helped some of the world’s most recognized organizations to engage with their consumers in meaningful ways.
Deeply Passionate, Intensely Curious, Enthralled by Possibility!
I’ve always been an explorer, whether that be in my world travels, my desire to create, or immersion in art and design. So the opportunity to reach millions of people and enrich their lives through thoughtful, accessible, user experience design is incredibly exciting to me.
I’m drawn to objects that have been fastidiously crafted, be that the Porsche 911, the Omega Marine Chronometer, or the most powerful software at our fingertips, the click of a mouse or the wave of a hand. Who knows where emerging technology will lead us, but I know I want to be part of shaping the future.
I’m a vintage watch collector, automotive design geek, pub and live music venue owner, fashion fiend, sport fanatic, natural strength athlete, junior champion diver, surfer, skier, lover of fine whiskey and good beer.
If it’s been made with quality and integrity, I’m into it!

Reality
If learning to surf has taught me anything it’s that life is really all about patience, punctuated by brief periods of abject terror and exhilaration.
