Hello world
I grew up in the Philadelphia area, went to school in New York, finished in PA, then moved back to New York. Before my tech career, I worked as a landscaper, handyman, house painter, chimney sweep, farmhand, bookstore clerk, photographer, playwright, actor, and probably a couple other things I can’t remember.
My tech career started in 1997 as a “web designer” at an independent agency. In those early days I muddled and improvised my way through all kinds of tasks that were embryonic at the time but eventually evolved into entirely distinct tech jobs.
My generalist nature eventually settled me in a UX career (I guess we call it product design now), but I was constantly encroaching into product management territory, so that’s what I’ve been doing since 2010.
I moved to the Bay Area in 1999 and now live in San Francisco with my wife and two kids.
