Chief Product Officer

Multi-chain NFT market data aggregator. Joined as part of a $10m venture round to help build out the product and engineering orgs.

Director of Product Management

Rolled over as a Director of Product Management after Zego was acquired by PayLease. Was in charge of running the Resident Experience products post-acquisition. PayLease was rebranded as Zego after our acquistion... hence "Zego (Powered by PayLease)".

Proptech startup that I co-founded and helped scale. We built an IoT device management platform for multifamily owners/operators, as well as a resident engagement app. Participated in Techstars Kansas City (2017). Acquired by Paylease, a Vista Equity Partners co. in 2019.

Sales Process Manager/Product Manager

Commercial solar installer. Initially worked in sales, transitioned into product role to help launch Brighterlink building management product.

Solar Consultant

I sold solar panels to consumers all over the country. If you owned a roof in Southern California in 2016 I probably called you.

Business Development

I cold-called martial arts and yoga studios to sell them an out-dated CRM software. It was tough.
