Group Product Manager, Daptiv, Inc.
I live a few miles north of the city I was born and raised in. My family, friends, and work are all in Seattle and I don't ever see myself leaving this great city. Sure, it rains, but the great local music makes up for it! Plus my dog enjoys the outdoors and so do my wife and I. I enjoy sports (Basketball being my favorite) and I as I mentioned before I love music which is status quo for a Seattleite - I think it is something in the coffee. Other than that I volunteer with the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America - a nonprofit that is near and dear to my heart. I have been with Daptiv for almost 7 years which equates to something like 21 internet years. I have worked on just about all off our products dating back to Enterprise 3.0 and eProject Express. I have worked with some amazing people in my time here. Prior to Daptiv I worked in IT then joined a couple of different web based software start-ups that had a lot of money, ideas, and great people - but none of which are in business anymore. I have a couple of different certifications in Product Management but nothing has taught me more about solving problems with technology than working with real people and real customers. |
