Background & Inspiration

I’m a builder at heart. I like taking an early, slightly messy idea and turning it into something (a product) people actually love. Most of my work has been in tech, but what keeps me interested is the same everywhere: thoughtful design, clear customer value, and collaborating with people who are willing to ship, learn, and iterate.

I’ve had a few wins, plenty of misses, and I try to keep a beginner's mindset because it’s the best way to keep getting better.

Career snapshot

Vail Resorts (Ski & Snowboard Industry) - I learned how big organizations scale ambitious ideas without losing what makes them special.

Inspirato (Luxury Travel Industry) - I joined early, learned a ton, and helped grow it to roughly ~$200M in ARR (eventually $ISPO). A lot of that growth was grit, conviction in a great idea, and super talented people that got results.

Sovrn (Digital Media/Ad-Tech Industry) - I served as Chief Product Officer, working on tools that help publishers make money through Advertising and Affiliate Commerce, and where I honed my obsession with AI + worked on hard-core engineering problems at incredible scale.

Twindo (Construction Tech) - My current chapter, where I’m helping out the team as fractional Chief Product & Technology Officer. We’re making it possible for teams to scan interiors and exteriors, using computer vision and generative AI to translate the physical world to the digital one.

That spectrum - Fortune-1000 to downtown lofts - taught me when a hand-built workaround beats a perfect process, and when it’s time to reinvent the product to stay in step with a fast-moving market.

What’s next

I’m putting those lessons into a new publishing platform for independent creators. Something built for people who’ve outgrown the constant scroll and want to own both their content and their audience. Less chasing algorithms. More building something that lasts.

Life outside work

When the laptop closes, I trade screens for Colorado snow, explore with two adventurous kids, and try every day to be a better husband, dad, son, and friend. Balance is never final - just something I refine, one day at a time.

If you’d like the résumé version, my LinkedIn is always a work in progress. Stick around here for the stories behind the bullet points.
