I am a world class product development and design resource, team builder and leader. I’ve always been intrigued, often obsessed with design, art, engineering, cycling, sailing, friends, family and travel. My career has taken me from the San Francisco Bay Area to China to Seattle, where I currently live with my wife, Deina and two kids, Joshua and Ari.
This website is a portfolio of my professional and personal experience. I hope you enjoy it and feel compelled to contact me.
