I have 15+ years of experience building B2B and B2C products that make complex information more accessible and actionable. From modernizing library platforms that expanded access to content for millions of patrons to creating rights management tools that identify usage and support proper attribution and payment for artists across social media and streaming platforms, I specialize in turning complex systems into clear, high-impact product experiences.

Personal Life
I’m originally from Buffalo, NY, and I studied at Rochester Institute of Technology, where I grew a passion for the intersection of creativity and technology. I spent my early career in NYC and LA, and now live in Austin with my wife and golden retriever.
Outside of work, I love traveling, eating, photography, beach volleyball, biking, street art, and building things.
