I started my first company while in college. Spun off another one and sold it to a large company. Before that, I traveled around making audio recordings of marching bands and did media for political campaigns. I’ve had fun making money.

Designing and coding cool web apps is a blast. I’m motivated by creating things that have value to lots of users. While I’m squarely a geek, I don’t cling to being any particular type of person. I have a very entrepreneurial mind set and focus a great deal on business strategy, sales &marketing, and company culture.

I have an awesome wife, Bets, and an evil cat, Thomas. Not sure why Bets puts up with me or why we put up with Thomas, but we all seem to get along pretty well. My coworkers are many of my friends, and I don’t draw a firm line between work and personal life. I’m fired up to meet and help other people in the spot I was 12 years ago: just starting out.

Feel free to contact me anytime, or stop by the Alley Bar in Bloomington any Thursday after work. I’ll be there.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][vc_separator color=”black”][vc_custom_heading text=”Professional Experience” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1504037587182{margin-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1504037722323{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”]
