About me

I'm from the Midwest and live in the Pacific Northwest. That probably explains a lot about me.

I care about art, technology, growth, experience, and helping people make sense of things. Most of my work lives somewhere between strategy, data, design, development, and human behavior.

I started my career in account management and marketing, learning how to listen to clients, understand problems, and move ideas through real organizations. Eventually I moved into analytics, helping launch a new division at an agency in Chicago. That's where I started connecting the dots between communication, data, systems, and visual storytelling.

Since then, I've built dashboards, reports, workflows, automations, analytics platforms, and AI-assisted tools. I've presented insights to large groups, trained thousands of people, spoken at user groups, produced events, and worked with Fortune 100 companies. I've also helped brainstorm and build experiences that came to life across the country.

Outside of work, I write poetry and lyrics, produce music, paint, make digital art, and build audiovisual systems. I've traveled the world, survived cancer, run three marathons, played college football, and spent a lot of time learning how to stay present through change.

Meditation and mindfulness are part of my daily life, not just ideas I like. They shape how I work, how I build, and how I try to show up for other people.

The thread through all of it is pretty simple:

Love all. Serve all. Create no sorrow.
