    A detailed look at my core values, experience, and the principles that guide me.

    Core Values

    Curiosity

    I approach the world with Socratic thinking. I challenge assumptions and ask endless questions.

    Reliability

    A promise made is a promise kept. I don't put my name on things I can't stand behind.

    Tenacity

    Unfinished problems bother me. I stick with them even after the novelty wears off.

    Empathy

    The best solutions come from understanding what everyone needs.

    Action

    I have a bias for motion. Less meetings, more making.
