Outside of work you will often find me reading, catching some live music with my wife, watching baseball, losing a negotiation to one of our two kids, or spending hours on a river being outsmarted by fish. Current specialties: New product development, market validations, go-to-market strategy, market segmentation, cross-functional leadership, data-driven decision making, sales enablement, strategic planning, product positioning/messaging, demand generation, integrated marketing, performance marketing, brand marketing, growth marketing.
