Bio

I've worked with startups, small businesses and the largest organizations in the world to design and build user-centered digital experiences. 15 years into my career, I've never been more thrilled about the intersection of technology and design and its impact on humanity.

Based in Chicago, USA  πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Work

Google 2017 — now

Designing security-centric products that enable Alphabet to lead the world in keeping people's data — and the internet — safe for everyone.

Before that I was focused on transitioning Google+ from a consumer-centric social platform to a business-centric internal communications platform named Currents.

Experian 2016 — 2017

Led a small "innovation" team designing experiences that made credit acquisition more accessible and debt collections more friendly.

Oakley 2013 — 2016

Led a team to re-design the Oakley.com Custom experience, bespoke marketing websites and a native app for a first-in-class "wearable" for runners and cyclers called Radar Pace built in collaboration with Intel.

Interests

Family

I'm a husband and father of four kids plus one labrador retriever. Full house!

Sobriety and addiction recovery

I'm building tools and resources to help others in porn addiction recovery. After living in recovery for over 7 years, I understand what it's like to feel hopeless in my addiction and find lasting freedom.

Health and fitness

I'm on a lifelong quest to adopt healthy habits with food and exercise. I'm keen to increase my healthspan, outlive my genes and make each decade better than the one before. My favorite place to sweat is CrossFit Backland.
