I have been working with web/software businesses since 1999; coder, architect, manager, leader. I work with incredible people to build scalable systems that achieve business goals... but that's relatively easy.
The truly challenging area is where my interest and passion lies; in building high performing teams through the development of strong, cohesive cultures. Advising companies and leaders on culture, process, and technology is meaningful.
Alignment and commitment to a broadly shared culture is difficult to achieve, but immensely powerful when it is. It requires emotional intelligence, vulnerability, empowerment, and trust.
Coaching and mentoring others in leadership is rewarding, and I have been fortunate to work with some amazing people.

I have co-founded a number of companies; being curious and adaptable allowed me to wear multiple hats as needed. I have worked on B2C, B2B, two-sided marketplaces, crypto projects (smart contracts, coins, mining proxies), security software, and digital imaging software & services.
Give me a good conversation about startups, business ideas, culture. Or maybe technical topics like code, infrastructure and best practices. I enjoy working on open source projects, and have released a number of my own projects as OSS.
I live on Vancouver Island BC, Canada 🇨🇦 with my wonderful wife and two kids (twins!). Getting out into nature is a favourite activity. Mountain biking and family hiking are regular escapes. You should visit!
