I’m an optimist with 27 years of hands-on engineering leadership in EnergyTech, B2B SaaS, Fintech, and Consumer platforms. I’ve served as the de facto CTO inside VC‐backed startups through seed, Series B/C rounds, and successful exits (Enbala → Generac | Webroot → $108M buyout). My superpower is turning ambiguity into product velocity and building high-trust, remote-first teams anchored in Radical Candor and servant leadership.

I lead with optimism, purpose, and service, anchored in Radical Candor and servant leadership. My teams say I create safe, growth-focused environments where direct feedback and trust coexist.
