About me
I recently founded a startup with some of my favorite former colleagues. We’re building software that we wish we had as kids. Previously, I was a PM Director at Facebook, PM Director at Twitter, GM at Vine (RIP), PM at Youtube, and PMM for Gmail. Outside of work, you can find me playing piano, pretending to be a designer, and hanging out with my kids.
