👋 Hi & Welcome!

This is my website 💻.

I enjoy building ambitious products and businesses that inspire optimism 🥳, create community 🙏, and enable creativity 🧠.

Below are a few things I've done 📱🦉🧦🪑🧲.

mobile + Community

After nearly a decade leading enterprise sales and internal education teams at Apple Inc., I saw the emergence of a generational platform with the introduction of iPhone and subsequent app store.

I set out to help shape how the first truly personal computer could turn us collectively toward the world around us, and ultimately bring us closer together.

2010-2016 | I cofounded Green Mountain Digital & Yonder. We developed mobile apps and community products focused on the outdoor and education market. Our products were regularly featured in Apple keynote presentations and television commercials. Our expertise was sought after by leading brands and institutions, including The North Face, National Parks Service, Bonnier Corporation, and more.

DTC + MARKETING

In 2016, I turned my attention toward a long-held passion for American manufacturing in my home state of Vermont. First, building and scaling a direct-to-consumer business at Darn Tough Vermont, then turned around a 50-year-old Vermont furniture manufacturer, Pompanoosuc Mills. In 2022, I cofounded ModWood where we design and manufacture an innovative countertop storage and organization system.
