It has been a dream of mine to design and build my own micro-brand watch company after spending many years as a novice watchmaker. I started Mohawk Valley Watch Company, LLC to fulfill this passion and am pleased to be building my own self-designed watches, one at a time. I seek to build watches that reflect the 1940's-1970's styles.

Albany, New York Metropolitan Area

I've enjoyed a diverse career as an executive in technology, strategy, innovation and digital transformation. Although I thought I was retired, I am being pulled back into the field. In between gigs I have been busy doing landscape architecture, restoring vintage watches, preparing to launch a micro brand watch line and restoring Maggie, my 1971 VW Bus.
