About Me
I’m a senior product manager focused on building practical, human-centered products. I care about clarity, collaboration, and results, and I spend most of my time working with people to turn messy problems into things that actually work.
I’m pragmatic by default. I value good judgment over rigid process, and I believe the best outcomes come from teams that are aligned, trusted, and supported. Whether the work involves discovery, execution, or iteration, I try to keep the focus on what matters most to the people affected by the product and the people building it.
Education
I attended college at Millersville University where I received my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a specialization in International Marketing.
In college I found myself drawn to Student Senate, and before I knew it was elected as the Chairman of Public Relations my second semester. I also spent my time taking on jobs like being an RA, and then managing off-campus apartments after that.
I’m currently completing my MBA, with an expected graduation in August. The program has helped sharpen my thinking around strategy, leadership, and decision-making, and complements the hands-on product work I do day to day.
Fitfunner
Fitfunner was the first project that shaped how I think about building products. I joined the team as an intern in college and worked closely on a game-based intervention designed to improve the lives of people living with a rare disease called Phenylketonuria.
It was a mission-driven product built around real people, real constraints, and a clear goal. The work required empathy, creativity, and constant iteration, especially given the sensitivity of the problem space and the limited resources available. Being part of that effort showed me how product decisions can have meaningful impact beyond metrics or growth charts.
Although funding for Fitfunner ended before development could be fully completed, the experience stayed with me. The lessons around human-centered design, early validation, and building with intention shaped the direction of my career. More importantly, the people we were able to help along the way made the work feel genuinely meaningful, even if only for a short time.
Agency Life
After graduating, I joined JSO Digital, where I spent nearly seven years working in a fast-paced environment that served as a practical education in building and launching products. The work spanned a wide range of industries and maturity levels, from early-stage initiatives to high-visibility projects with national exposure, including campaigns featured on Shark Tank.
Over time, the agency began launching its own internal products. That shift gave me repeated exposure to early-stage product development, where ideas were tested quickly and ownership was shared across small teams. I helped pilot MVPs using simple tools, supported early customer interactions, and contributed to decisions around what to build, refine, or abandon based on real feedback.
Those years provided hands-on experience with zero to one work and reinforced a pragmatic approach to building things. I learned how to operate in ambiguity, balance speed with quality, and focus on outcomes rather than polish. The environment shaped how I work today, grounding my product instincts in execution, iteration, and respect for the people on both sides of the product.
As a result, some of the following brands were created and launched in-house:
LeafScore was established to enable people to vote with their dollars, highlighting eco-friendly companies and brands making a difference in the world.
Streaming Stadium was created to help users navigate the complicated world of streaming. With new services popping up every day, it offered an easy guide.
At GeneFood we worked with geneticists to create a custom nutrigenomic algorithm that could sort you into one of 20 unique diet types based on your DNA.
Current Day
These days, I work at Indeed as a Senior Product Manager, building products that support both businesses and job seekers at global scale. The work spans B2B and B2C problem spaces and involves close collaboration with design, engineering, research, and stakeholders across the organization.
The transition from agency work to product at scale has been a meaningful shift. It requires clearer prioritization, stronger alignment, and thoughtful tradeoffs, and it has reinforced how important people and execution are when systems grow large.
I use this site to share perspectives on product work, human-centered design, and building things that work in real-world conditions.
