About

A long story short(-ish).

I’m a senior product manager and, like many PMs, my journey into product was non-linear. I'm a creative by trade and a child of the Internet era. My life has been defined by drawing these threads together. I hold degrees in theater and law, and have also studied music, studio art, web development, and data science. How I navigate all of these domains is roughly the same: figure out how a complex system works, identify the gaps, and make it better for the people around me and after me.

I grew up in Massachusetts, and spent most of my adult life in New York. I recently moved to Los Angeles after a brief stint in Chicago (ask me about my standup sidequests). Massachusetts developed my taste, NYC refined it and set the bar high, and now LA is where I share it with the world.

When I'm not building, I'm probably out on a run or playing some video games (I love a good puzzle, even outside of work). I watch 300 films and 100 seasons of television a year, and I release a new playlist each month. Outside of work, I'm usually at a theater (imagine my pitch for AMC Stubs A-List here); if I'm at home, I'm probably watching TV—anything from a new streaming hit, to a Housewives re-run, to the news, to an intense tennis match. When I want to let loose, I'm usually trying to find a concert or a dancefloor. I love a great dinner and a cheeky martini, but the dining experience is the most important part (you can take the boy out of the hospitality industry...)

Right now I’m interviewing—looking for senior PM roles in media and streaming, ideally somewhere that takes both the growth side and the editorial side seriously. If that sounds like your team, I’d love to connect.
