I`m a product manager, full stack developer, and growth marketer with a passion for intuitive design and hacking code. I currently manage an engineering team at Cloudflare in the Emerging Tech & Incubation group where we are helping build a better internet through serverless applications, the next frontier of edge computing. I was previously co-founder and CEO of Tend.ai, a company changing the world with robots. We build software that allows people to control robots with their mobile devices. It`s making smart manufacturing easier than it`s ever been. Formerly in my career, I managed a $100M global product line for 7 years while at Symantec. I built the official MTV News and People Magazine apps for the iPhone. I patented a method for clustering virtual machines (). I started a social media and SEO firm called The Social Business (@thesocialbiz), where I built a social business analytics app in Python and sold it to a NY venture firm called Innovation Garden () in 2014. My previous startup was StartupCommunity.org, which I built using Node and Angular. While doing that, I was also an EIR in the CTO office of Itron, where I helped them build new lines of business around IoT and Smart Cities. I was also chairman of the Tech Alliance of Central Oregon 501(c)3, I organized BendTech (), a co-working facility for startups, I have pitched at the Bend Venture Conference, and I am a mentor and alumni of the FoundersPad business accelerator program. I`ve got two sons who love soccer, role playing games, and stand up paddleboarding on the Deschutes. It`s really hard to beat building a startup and raising a family in Central Oregon. ©
