About

I’ve spent 15 years designing learning experiences for companies like Collins Aerospace, Motorola Solutions, and V2X but for the past year, I’ve been building. I bring something most product builders don’t have: deep expertise in how people learn, retain information, and change behavior. That lens shapes every product decision I make, from onboarding flow to engagement design to what gets cut. My background spans Fortune 500 companies across aerospace, defense, financial services, and cybersecurity. I’ve led cross-functional teams, managed enterprise-wide training technology portfolios, and shipped learning products used by thousands of people. Now I’m channeling that experience into product management and entrepreneurship, building tools that solve real problems for real people. If you’re building something that matters and need someone who thinks in both learning science and product strategy, let’s talk.
