Executive Manager | People Operations

My career has been spent in the people business - developing, coaching, and leading others to achieve their career goals and have a sincerely positive relationship with their employer and organization.

I enjoy focusing my efforts on broad impact and making decisions that benefit many people within an organization. I take immense pride in employees being able to genuinely say that they had a good day at work, and while they may not want to get up on Monday morning (I understand!), they know that what they are getting up for is important, focused, and impactful work.

I believe that good leadership and the understanding that organizations are made up of actual, real people are what truly matters in a workplace, and I take immense pride and responsibility in creating that workplace for others.

Most of my spare time goes to my wife, two young children, and our family dog Kenzie. We enjoy getting out of the house and seeing the beautiful areas that San Diego and Carlsbad have to offer, but when we can, we enjoy traveling within and outside of the U.S. I have deeply enjoyed my working and giving opportunities with organizations such as the Ronald McDonald Foundation, Feeding America, and Purple Strides for Pancreatic Cancer.
