In a nutshell
I'm a Director of Product Management at Salesforce, and was previously at Amazon. My sinful past life includes time as a management consultant. Don't fault me for trying to change the world one slide at a time. I've spanned startups and large enterprises across three continents, leading teams to deliver both enterprise and consumer products. In my spare time, I read, write, tinker, and travel. (All silliness of this site aside, I enjoy my work and love the teams I work with!)
My wanderings
Living in different countries has given me an appreciation for various cultures and their wonderful people. It has also enabled the ability to work well with diverse teams and understand nuances. The image represents places I've lived.
The professional life
You'll probably recognize some of these companies. Each has taught me something worth carrying forward. I'm grateful for the friendships I've retained from each of these places. My experiences have been largely positive with an occasional sprinkle of awful. But such is life.
Hobbies
They keep you happy.
Reading: I've probably read every day for the last 15-20 years. My preferred genres are history, science, police procedurals, legal-thrillers, realistic science fiction, technology and business. My preferred method of reading is a Kindle Paperwhite. Here are some of my favorite books.
Writing: Some of my works (under a pen name) have been read millions of pages on Amazon. Don't worry, nothing controversial. I like science and ancient history and it's along those lines.
Cartooning: Yes, I suppose it's a form of writing but I'd like to give it its own category because why not. I used to cartoon as a kid, and I've rekindled it somewhat in recent years. I'll put a few in here in due time.
Tech Tinkering: I love technology. It brings me joy and is essential to understanding engineering and appreciate their day-to-day work. Here are a few things I've done for fun.
Other stuff: I like traveling (who doesn't) and I've been to many places but there's lot more I haven't seen than I have. I love rain. I enjoy the confounded looks when people try to sell me the horrors of Seattle weather.
