Although I studied improv comedy with Second City and jazz at the University of North Texas, my brain has been hardwired for improvisation since I was a child. The mantra throughout my career has been, "I'll do it. I'll go. Send me. I'll figure it out." It is easy to say no to something because you don't feel confident, but none of us are 100% prepared for every situation in business, let alone life. Mick Napier once said, "Improvisation is the art of being completely OK with not knowing what the efff you are doing." I merge business, technology, creativity, improvisation, and story telling. I tore apart broken electronics as a kid and fixed them. I learned trumpet at age 9 and piano at age 15. I’ve been in dozens of musical theater productions. I first performed stand-up comedy as a high school freshman and continued for 15 years. I spent years in advanced improv classes with The Second City and performed in comedy troupes on the Las Vegas Strip.While studying music composition in college I was fascinated with multimedia. I taught myself graphic design, animation, UX/UI, web dev, and digital filmmaking. This brought me to casino game development where all those disciplines merged. The natural next step was coding and DevOps. I taught myself Linux, Javascript, Actionscript, C#, and Swift. As a Product Manager, while under a hiring freeze, I created a game asset (video/images) production engine using the Javascript engine within Photoshop and After Effects which replaced the need for 20+ new game production techs. This was while also maintaining client relations, release schedules, and performing presales functions. From there I moved to solutions consulting, CX, and presales. Then to SaaS product management.In my eclectic two decade technology career there’s been one common element. Thanks to my experience on stage I am constantly asked to work directly with clients, give the presentation, or represent the company at the trade shows. Boardrooms are more forgiving than a comedy club full of hecklers. My background in technology, entertainment, and improvisation has merged in the last decade, pushing my career to business development, presales, and CX. I've advised, consulted, and demonstrated to hundreds of casinos and corporations across the world.
