His background spans operations, supply chain, and transformation leadership, with hands-on experience aligning strategy, execution, and technology to drive durable results.

About Me:
ex-Google, ex-Visa partnerships and GTM leader with an MBA from Cornell. I'm relaunching the Silicon Slopes Neurodiversity Chapter to provide holistic, practical support for neurodivergent members, from career and founder support to executive function systems, community connection, and real-time problem solving.
What I'm working on:
In a high-velocity, high-interruption world, Context Switching is the new Smoking. It is the biological root cause of burnout, missed goals, and bad strategy.
Phossil is the "Exoskeleton for Executive Function." It creates a "Context Fabric" that holds your mental state together so you can recover instantly from interruptions.
Full-stack developer and storyteller building digital experiences that help people feel less alone. With a CS background, I've led platforms for Rivian, Accenture, Verizon, DC Comics, and MD Anderson, serving over a billion users across healthcare, L&D, and content.
Co-founded 2x VC-backed startups. My work has been covered in Businessweek, Buzzfeed, Vice, and The Guardian.
Currently at Vendr (SaaS spend management). Relocated to Salt Lake City from New Orleans. When not coding, I'm running, mountain biking, or skiing the Cottonwood canyons with my wife and two kids.
Excited to connect with Utah's tech community!

I don’t just help companies catch up, I help them leap ahead.
As the founder of Cameo Labs, I work with high-growth leaders who are tired of quick fixes and want real transformation. From EdTech to SaaS, I help organizations ditch outdated playbooks, align their teams around a vision, and deliver products their customers actually want.
Let’s rethink innovation, so you can stop fighting yesterday’s battles and start leading tomorrow’s market.
I collect friends and find ways to support each other’s businesses along the way. I get stoked about strategy, partnerships, efficient operations, and social impact. By day I develop partnerships to turn scattered marketing efforts into cohesive, high-performing strategies; after hours I create stunning charcuterie boards, boxes, and grazing tables. Let's build something cool together!
I’m a freelance healthcare content strategist and writer whose work includes a growing body of health tech clients. I’ve called Utah home for seven years but originally from Chicago. I’m excited to learn more about Utah tech innovation, procurement, real-world adoption—and to meet others doing interesting work in this space. I’m always up for a good conversation if you spot me.
