about me
Like you, I want to change the world.
I use technology to bring ideas to life. I am particularly passionate about information technology infrastructure, social entrepreneurship, open innovation (and business) models and the use of co-creation and research in bringing great products to market.
Need more?
I began working with Internet technologies in 1997 and have been applying these technologies in new, innovative ways ever since. This is the passion that gets me up in the morning and keeps me up at night.
Still curious?
Too long ago, I worked at Kiva Software and Netscape Communications. After working for 2 years in Silicon Valley building Internet infrastructure for large scale e-commerce sites during the dot-com bubble, I returned to study Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction at the University of California at San Diego. Before graduating, I also attended an academic program for non-business students at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business.
I am founding partner at Breakthrough Innovation Group (BIG) and product manager at NorthScale. In 2005, I co-founded dotherightthing with Ryan Mickle. I am also an occasional speaker on topics relating to entrepreneurship, generation y and, of course, innovation.
I currently live in San Francisco.
Other things I enjoy and hope to do more of…
- forgo tradition to pursue challenges that spark passion
- share information about how to apply Internet technologies to solve real business and social problems
- work on building revolutionary products and services
- adopt and implement bleeding edge technologies
- embrace the thrills of success and failure in building entrepreneurial enterprise
- work with others to help them achieve “success”
- strive to do the right thing
- surround myself by people who consistently amaze me
