Timeline

 

1997

Dot-com boom junkie, mad dash to several technology certifications, spent time at Amazon.com and Nintendo as a gameplay counselor (no kidding!) and ultimately in Product Acquisition and Development. Click, you know you want to know more...

 

1999

Non-profit junkie, took up running and coaching to clear the head and the heart. With the Arthritis Foundation, ran marathons and coached wonderful people from couch to marathon finish line in Vancouver, Honolulu, Dublin, Amsterdam, Kona, Seattle, and elsewhere.

 

2000

Dodged the dot-com crush and took on technical leadership at a private $50MM Seattle-area company.

 

2003

The incredible Ashley Fenzl Crossman, Ph.D., swept me off my feet and from Seattle down to sunny Phoenix, AZ. Still a burgeoning technology landscape, a great deal of success was had building community, co-working, and entrepreneurialism. 

 

2004

Considerable success with Internet Business Technology service and consulting. Among many other things, worked with Cablevision, wrote the fitting application for Ping golf, and streamlined operations for municipalities.

 

2007

Evolved to manage Fortune 500 clients including P&G, national companies and brands including Massage Envy, the $700MM CORE Construction, and supported our team with clients including McDonalds, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cable ONE, and so many more.

 

2010

Entrepreneurialism is a mental condition for which there is no cure. The confluence of consulting, agency work, and an insatiable appetite for all things startup led to this point which has taken me to Searchlight and technology consulting for legal matters in my "spare" time because I truly enjoy it so much.
