When I'm not behind a screen

My beliefs as a leader

  • Firm believer in the golden rule here

  • Be the teammate you would want to have on your team. Inspire others by setting the tone. 

  • We have mutual goals and a shared finish line. Let's get to that line together in a respectful manner.

  • Do the right thing because it's the right thing to do. If the work is done right, the credit will follow. 

  • We all need each other every now and then. Some of my favorite people are those I met through my career path.

nice to meet you

With over two decades of experience in the design world, I have been fortunate to have learned from the best. I have worked with world class design teams at every level. 

At my time with Newell Brands, I worked on multiple brands including Rubbermaid, Yankee Candle, Ball, Bubba, Graco, NUK, Sharpie, Papermate and more. I was surrounded by world class illustrators, industrial designers, CMF teams and world class processes.

While at Prowess Consulting, I helped tech leaders such as Microsoft, Intel, Dell, AMD, Pure Storage, and more. I helped create the in-house design infrastructure and design-team culture that is currently being used at Prowess to this day. 

Currently, I am working with Aqua Lily Pad and Wateraft brands for Jacobs and Thompson LLC. We are ramping up our game in the water-fun category.

I'm enjoying southwest Michigan
