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.

Field Engineer

Bear VAI Technology

Built great relationships, gained invaluable experience, won multiple awards, and had, what I consider to be, great successes - not by pushing products - but by doing what I love - connecting with people, connecting people to technology, sharing cross-industry best practices and innovations, and pushing technology forward for the sake of mankind.

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.

At first glance, you’re thinking, “Wow, look at that.. central air! Modern vents! Fresh paint!” 

But then.. you take off the vent cover and realize the builder’s idea of air circulation was pure imagination. 

There’s no duct. There’s no airflow. Just drywall. 

Congratulations, you’ve just purchased a decorative vent, sort of a high-quality wall ornament. 

If that happens, you'll really need to vent.

What’s the name of the Japanese attorney who only files lawsuits against women?

I once got into a fight with my GPS… now we’re not on speaking terms.😄

My wife asked if our kids are spoiled..
I said, “Nah… I think most kids smell that way.”😄

My dentist removed the wrong tooth.
It was accidental.😄

Do you find some U.S. states names to be funny?
I guess I like laughing at others' Missouri.😄

I have the body of a perfectly healthy 25 year old man..

Last week, the US Mint officially issued the last US penny and will no longer produce them in the future.

You know where I'm going with this..

💥 Great, now we’ll all be penniless.
💥 I wonder if they’re in mint condition. 
💥 This makes no cents. 
💥 That’s so cents-less. 
💥 I'd share my two cents worth, but I can't afford it.

Also, whoever came up with a “penny for your thoughts,” “don’t nickel and dime me” and “another day, other dollar” sure knew how to coin a phrase.

What do you find more irritating, fake accounts or fake connection requests?

I’m flattered when someone finds my professional journey truly impressive.. 

..especially my time with Previous Companies & Businesses, Landlord Self-Employed. 🙄

Who doesn't prefer genuine connections over bots?
