About Me

Passionate about defining human-centered solutions through pragmatic creative thinking. I’m currently crafting digital experiences to help people enroll in healthcare. Through continuous education, I strive to become a leader in data-driven product management and collaborate with a like-minded team to solve big problems.

Outside of my W2-life, I’m a hubby, #girlDad, aspiring carpenter, and continuously searching for creative ways to pay back my student loans.
