Director, Membership

YETi CGI

We need to stop making things that suck.

YETi CGI is a team of misfits with a strong background in Game Theory and creating Ambient User Experiences. With extensive cross-industry experience, they focus on and dream up amazing user experiences and then bring them to life – with an incredible, diverse team of experts who can make large amounts of complexity seem completely transparent. 

I get to help YETi talent scout for new technologies, architect hardware platforms, and find places where they can add huge amounts of value…but mostly I learn from the wisdom of each unbelievably talented member of the group.

My dad always told me that the key to success was to surround myself with brilliant people...and I think he was on to something. 😅

All in all, I've had an amazing career filled with incredible opportunities that I never would have even dreamed of or imagined, and it all stemmed from following this simple principle. 

I've done everything from medical device engineering, to growing my B2B Tech copywriting business from $0 to 6-figures in less than a year, to leading the growth engine for an up-and-coming SaaS startup fighting against the status quo of crappy push notifications. 🤺

...and who knows what's around the next turn.

Conversational Tech Copywriter

You're probably really proud of your tech - No one knows it better than you do.

...which is exactly why you shouldn't be writing your own copy.


Wait...What?!?


Yep. That's right.


See, when you're 'too close' to your tech, you start to develop your own language and assumptions.

Worse yet, you start to get blind to what your customers do and don't know.

It's not unique to you, it's just really hard to read the label of the jar you're in.


As an Engineer with an unhealthy obsession with consumer psychology, I can come alongside your technical team and help translate your features and differentiators into relevant and relatable messaging that speaks to your customers where they are.

Your hard-to-explain product slows down your growth → Let's make it easy to showcase, invest in, and buy.

After 15+ years in branding and product development, I've discovered one critical insight.

The missing link between great products and market success.

Product development is important, but until you truly understand your customer's perspective, you'll miss vital opportunities.

Marketing may look good internally, but it won’t affect their behavior.

That’s where I come in, turning your complex product into a clear, compelling offer that customers 'get' and want to buy.

Together we will:

1. Uncover your product's true value through your customers' eyes
2. Develop a magnetic brand story that makes your value proposition irresistible
3. Create an engaging, interactive website that showcases your product and drives action

No more guesswork → You'll gain crystal clarity on your market position and a proven blueprint to engage customers effectively.
