Experience

• 

  Ohio National Guard

  Jan 2008 - Jan 2019

  My whole life, I have had a strong urge to serve. Military service is in my family several generations back. The September 11, 2001 attacks happened 6 months before I was eligible to join, and I joined as soon as I could.Looking back, I credit my military experience with teaching me how to talk to the C-Suite. Getting chewed out by brass gets old pretty fast, so I quickly learned how not to waste people's time. My time in the military also taught me how to make decisions confidently, and how "a bias towards action" is the key to progress (especially when you're building new technology).I learned how to run projects. I learned how to take care of people. I learned how to persevere. Now, I get to use these skills everyday to help my team thrive. Show less

  Project Management (E-Commerce Implementations)

  Crown Partners (acquired Razorfish and later by Publicis) was my official introduction to technical project management. Here, I learned how to translate the skills I was learning in the military into running excellent e-commerce implementations. My role inside the PMO gave me a first-class education in how to drive effective communication between developers, stakeholders, and executives.
