About Your Coach

---

Professional 

I've been working in the technology space for 25+ years.  I've been a Business Analyst, Project & Program Manager, Product Owner, and Coach.  

I'm passionate about Product Management because I've seen strong PM skills resolve the core problems found in the traditional waterfall application development approaches I was forced to work in for years.  I'd love to share what I've learned over the past couple of decades and help you avoid the common pitfalls that come with transforming how you work. 

I've worked inside organizations of less than 10 and organizations with 360,000+ employees.  I have influenced the C-Suite of a Fortune 50, and gotten into the weeds with electronic payment product teams as they seek to reorganize around Product Capabilities. 

Products change lives.  I love this work. 

Personal

I'm a self-declared "Hipster Redneck."  

Illustrations to help that sink in:  

• I can sip a Grande Dirty Chai with 2 Shots while listening to Skynyrd.  
• I wear red Vans while downing a Pabst.  
• I make art pottery and throw darts.  
• I own a boat, but don't know how to swim. <unrelated fun fact> 

I do my best to embarrass my kids and love my wife to the moon and back.  

I call 'em as I see 'em and do my best to live every day with a sense of gratitude and joy - regardless of my circumstances. 

Let's have some fun improving the way you work... pretty sure we'll both learn something.
