I help build new technology.  

By profession, I’m a PM (Product Manager) and I enjoy helping to bring to life technology that I think is—or will be—significant for the world my children are inheriting.

I’m fascinated by the rise of Artificial Intelligence and what it will bring. I’m currently working on something that will make us reflect on its implications.

Separately, I tend to think Bitcoin is interesting and represents an opportunity to reconsider how money works in society. I created the Hello Bitcoin education project to help people understand it.

I’m a Product Advisor to Remo Health, which is pioneering a new type of care experience for Alzheimer’s patients and their family caregivers.

I co-founded Cityblock Health, a radically different type of healthcare provider for underserved communities. I was the company’s Chief Product Officer until early 2019. 

Previously, I was a PM at Google for many years and helped build Google Maps on mobile and bring Google Glass to market.

I live in West Vancouver, British Columbia with my wife and 4 kids.
