I started my career helping two nascent startups grow into multi-billion dollar public companies. Next I founded two profitable mobile app companies that generated over 200M downloads. Over the last 30 years my roles centered on product management, including everything from product design, usability and program management to technical management and outsourcing. In addition, I drove outbound marketing for everything from tiny startups to public companies. I’ve been granted 26 patents related to mobile technology, wireless communications, and user interface design.
The above is the bio I've used for years, but the FULL STORY is...
I started my career as a rudderless English major fired from my first job for incompetence. Somehow this aimless, unemployed 22-year-old, who steered clear of STEM classes, not only became a contributing member of society but has had a successful career in technology and business. As can you see, I’m overqualified to tell stories about self-improvement and transformation.

The book will be available December 2024. In the mean time, I'm sharing some of best parts and elicit feedback on my blog below.
