ABOUT


Welcome to my personal digital space! Glad you dropped by.

I'm a writer, startup hound, digital strategist, experience designer, content junkie, and therapist. In my blog, articles, and books, you'll catch me reflecting on the fast paced life of digital living and leaning in on the science and not so scientific aspects of psychology, project management, and user experience design.

I'm an avid distance runner, hiker, and traveler. I'm also a Gulf War veteran.  Oh, and as a "tree hugger" born from summers traipsing around the Appalachian Mountains as a child, I'm passionate about innovations that make the environment and world a better place. Check out some of my projects below. If you're interested in connecting, drop me a line at [email protected] and we'll make it happen.
