I'm a husband and father first — and a Product Manager who's spent 14+ years building things that make people's lives easier. That drive started long before software: I began my career as a machinist, programming production runs and watching raw metal become a finished part. That instinct — take a problem, build something real, see it land — never left me.
Professionally, I've led product across three distinct industries: Electronic Vehicle Registration (where I joined a startup near inception and helped grow it to millions of transactions before acquisition), automotive title and lien management at Dealertrack/Cox Automotive, and most recently as Senior PM at Sotheby's, where I own the global consignment platform serving sellers across 10+ countries and 20+ collecting departments.
I work best at the intersection of people and product. I'm strongest in stakeholder and executive relationships — from C-suite to operators — and I pride myself on having enough technical depth to partner credibly with engineers and use tools like AI to move faster and think more clearly. I'm actively building with AI tooling (including building and shipping my own iOS app using Claude Code) because I believe the next generation of PMs will use AI as leverage, not just talk about it.
