About


Based just outside DC, I chase great coffee, meticulously plan my travels, tackle ambitious home projects, and seek meals that make the journey worthwhile. I approach both work and life as opportunities to learn, grow, and share those insights with others.

Previously


Led FP&A across SaaS and high-growth tech, including Reify Health, Highspot, and EVERFI.Guided teams through acquisitions, integrations, and board-level reporting without losing the plot.Cut my teeth at SAP Concur, where I learned how large systems really work (and why they break).

Consuming


 Reading  the Cradle series by Will Wight, a fantasy series built on ascending strength. Listening  (and laughing) to the Off Menu Podcast, where comedians Ed Gamble and James Acaster host a magical restaurant. Learning  fermentation from Patrice and her mother at Tae-Gu Kimchi. Watching  Culinary Class Wars, where I’m constantly reminded my true calling is to be a cooking show judge. Playing  PEAK, where I climb cliffs with friends.

Connect


For anything thoughtful, direct, or genuinely human, email is the best way to reach me.For professional connections, LinkedIn remains useful enough to justify its noise and performative flair.
