About Me
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EXPERT
I was born in Texas, started my first company at the age of 10, and built my first website by the time I was 12. Finding my passion at such a young age, in a place known for its unique culture and state pride has played a significant role in forming who I am today.
I am a learner first and foremost. I taught myself HTML from books at the library, design from studying works of graphic designers I admired, Python from a book off Amazon, and Golang from video tutorials. I read 40 books a year and keep pace with product trends through countless hours of research and experimentation.
I am a maker at heart, with my workspace looking more like a science lab than an office. There are books, 3d printers, chess boards, robotic parts, and computers laid out in a functional fashion across my many tables and desks. For me, building things is where learning meets reality. Whether it’s a new computer technology I am trying to understand or a better writing utensil I am working to design. The ability to invent is at the heart of everything I do.
I am a product guy when it comes down to it. Learning and building are great, but what brings me the most joy is leveraging those skills to deliver new and exciting products to customers.
