I foster creativity and collaboration in business and tech. I’m passionate about empowering teams and driving growth.

I create cultures where creativity thrives through minimizing fear and demanding growth. I bridge the world between creatives and the rest of the business and tech world.

I live for adventure and when not at work, you’ll find me in the Cascade mountains or paddling the Salish Sea.
