I see great value in almost anything. I create anything.There is always a positive wrapped inside the negative, a pivot point waiting to be discovered. I am fearless about changing direction, quick to take over faltering projects and comfortable with improvisation and ambiguity.I have held the roles of UX/UI Designer, Product Manager, IT Consultant, and Videographer, and Entrepreneur. I have created SaaS and mobile products in the Search and Analytics space, rich-media websites for investment companies and actors, video stories for the 6 o'clock news, and industrial products for US and Canadian mass markets.I love building things, whether it's an inflatable light tower, a revolutionary peer-networked search engine, a small-scale retro-video game, or a sand castle.I am insatiably curious and driven to mastery. I have picked up Ruby, HTML, WordPress, and Shopfiy as well as skills in video editing, web casting, media projection, and teleconferencing – so I can get the job done. I thrive at translating ideas into technical specs and wireframes.Like the great Han Solo, or the scrappier Captain Quint (from my favorite movie, Jaws), I am relentless and uber-focused in my pursuits. I have extraordinary perseverance and unflappable patience.It is this balance of tenacity, patience, and technical aptitude that powers my successes, such as becoming #1 math student and top-3 crew member, day-trading from a hospital bed to pay off my student loan, reinventing a sports analytics company, pitching my startup to "Dragons Den” TV investors, walking onto the set of a California film production, and hacking my way into a meeting with a Silicon Valley investor.When I talk people believe me. I speak from the heart, lead by example, and always try to understand the other person's perspective. That's how great ideas become great products!Whether in the boardroom, out in the field, on a production set, or in the sandbox…Let's be great.
