“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well.”

– Albert Einstein

I have always been driven by a strong passion to learn as much as I can about a topic of interest, both for my own benefit and also to share those learnings with others in an easy-to-understand and prescriptive manner.

My professional career began in 1993 when Mosaic, the first graphical web browser, was released and I realized that the Internet was about to change the world. I started a “dot com” business while still in high school that designed and hosted websites for local businesses, and later developed a content management and web-based CRM system for nationwide clients like LabOne and the US Golf Association. After graduating with an engineering degree and MBA, I worked at JPMorgan, then became a management consultant, and later transitioned into “commercial teaching” (aka sales and marketing).

Living in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and now Prescott, Arizona, I’m also a mountain biker and volunteer youth cycling coach, an avocational action sports and outdoor lifestyle photographer whose images have been used by recognizable names like Patagonia and Fox Sports while raising money for charity, a skier, snowboarder, and fly fisherman who loves to teach these activities to others, an Eagle Scout who still loves to camp, a lucky husband and proud father, and a passionate humanitarian who believes “it is in giving that we receive.”
