About Me

I am a Product Coach with over 20 years of experience as both a Product Manager and Product Management Leader. In that time, I’ve experienced all shapes and sizes of companies, a wide variety of industries, and a myriad of product management roles and teams.  

 

I have worked in product management in some of the world's leading technology companies including Sony, Qualcomm, and T-Mobile.  I also have experience in a wide variety of industries, including Mobile, EdTech, Location Services, SaaS, Digital Media, Consumer Electronics, Platform Services, Developer Tools, and more.  

Personally, I live in the Pacific Northwest (just outside of Seattle) with my wife of over 20 years, our two daughters, and our two Aussiedoodles.  I am an Adjunct Professor at both the University of Washington and Seattle University Business Schools and I love the Seattle Sounders, hiking, reading, and board games.
