About
More about me
I love design and I love technology - but my sweet spot is right in the middle.
From an early career with Apple retail, to long-term stints in wagering, banking, telecommunications, and even funeral services, I've done a little bit of everything.
At the end of the day, one thing has always remained true: I love working on an interesting project with a passionate team.
My experiences
I'm always keen on diving deep into new industries or interesting new challenges, and my diverse experience reflects that passion to always learn and grow.

As a big fan of board games, I've always had a pet-peeve around how you learn to play them. The old-school instruction manuals made sense back in the '90s when I was first learning to play games, but since then, we've grown up.
