I'm a builder at heart, and technology is my timber.I love playing the long game, leveraging innovation to build sustainable, scalable products, platforms and businesses that create more value than they capture.Since founding my own game company at 14, I've dedicated my professional career to creating products and experiences powered by a mix of imagination and software. Some have been significant, some wildly successful, and others remarkably unremarkable. What unites the dozens of products and businesses I've helped bring to market is an unwavering focus on understanding and serving the target customer with coherent and considered experiences.I believe the greatest force multiplier is not technology, but people. As a culture-first leader, I guide the team to identify their North Star and stay committed to it. Whether the plan or product is mostly right or nearly wrong, one thing remains certain — we are never confused and we are in it together.I prioritize commitment to craft (quality of work) and commitment to excellence (quality of product) over short-term metrics. I bring a bias for action and a sense of urgency to my work and expect the same of others. I remain as curious today as I was 50 years ago, believing that an autotelic personality is the key to seeing around corners.I also love music, pinball, snowboarding, bowling, architecture, mountain biking, and building things. I've never been mistaken for an athlete.
