Living a life of impact through meaningful connections.

This sums up what I believe my life is about.

I’m excited to connect and help you discover your path. Help you figure out what’s best for you. It’s empowering. Using a model that can help you navigate life, not just your career.

I’ve spent over 20 years in corporate recruiting, working for large companies and high-growth startups within legal, finance, consulting, biotech, and fintech. My career journey started with a simple question — “How did you get your job?” That question changed the trajectory of my life! It introduced me to design based thinking. I didn’t know that’s what it was at the time. And I’m forever grateful.

I live in San Diego with my wife. Our daughter is a freshman in college. I love to stay active and am open to just about anything that gets my heart pumping. I love to hike. I love to golf. And I enjoy sprint triathlons.

Let’s go!
