About
Who I am and what I care about
Personal Interests
The Outdoors
National parks are a genuine passion. Wide open spaces restore perspective in a way nothing else quite does.
Meditation
A consistent mindfulness practice shapes how I approach complexity, difficult conversations, and everything in between.
Music
Working on music projects is a creative outlet that keeps me grounded — a different kind of building than what I do at work.
People & Community
I invest deeply in relationships — with family, friends, and the communities I'm part of. The best things in life are shared.
Professional Interests
I’ve spent 20+ years at the intersection of technology, data, and partnerships. What keeps me engaged is the challenge of making complex technical capabilities accessible — to partners, customers, and the broader ecosystem.
Areas I Care Deeply About
- Partner ecosystems — designing technical programs that help ISVs, cloud providers, and SIs deliver more together
- The modern data stack — staying close to how data is collected, transformed, governed, and activated at scale
- AI-assisted workflows — understanding how language models and agents are reshaping data products and integrations
- Technical enablement — building the documentation, playbooks, and certification programs that help partners succeed independently
- Trusted advisor relationships — the kind of deep, honest partnership that only comes from consistently delivering on your word
Approach
The best technical partnerships are built on mutual trust, clear communication, and a genuine understanding of what the other side is trying to accomplish. My approach is always to lead with listening, translate complexity into clarity, and measure success by outcomes — not activity.
