As a curious youngster, my parents came home and found their computer in pieces scattered around the floor...I just wanted to know how it worked! Always curious and a bit overly ambitious I built my first web page back in 2001 when my grandfather gave me a book on HTML, CSS, and Javascript. From those early days "playing" on my grandfather's PC (and tearing apart my parent's computer), I knew I wanted to work in technology. While still in high school I started to dabble with WordPress theming and began to freelance, building marketing sites for local small businesses. I went on to start my first "tech" company, MySportHighlights.com, in 2011.Since that first company, I've focused the majority of my career on technology and startups. I co-founded PointStart.io (while playing D1 football at Toledo), was hired as engineer #2 at Neighborhoods.com, ran all security & technology-based efforts at Precognitive (acquired by ShopRunner 2018), led Platform Engineering at ShopRunner (Acquired by FedEx in 2020), and most recently I led the Platform Engineering organization as a Director at FedEx Dataworks (CloudOps, SRE, Security, Fraud).I'm currently the CTO & Co-founder of Joggr (Techstars '23).
