Red Rocks Community College

Taught collegiate-level Mathematics courses in classroom and online/remote learning settings with classes of up to 30 students. Prepared and delivering curriculum and learning activities to achieve course outcomes.

Professor of Mathematics

As an enterprising Product Executive, Product Portfolio Manager, and Startup Founder, I bring to bear a multifaceted background in SaaS spanning various markets such as FinTech, GovTech, EdTech, AutoTech, LegalTech, and Engineering. I apply this diverse knowledge to establish robust product-market fit, fostering data-driven connections that serve both industry leaders and B2B users. My track record includes aiding global banking firms in managing billion-dollar transactions, empowering municipalities and schools nationwide with fiscal transparency and performance analytics for residents and parents, streamlining healthcare for students, boosting inventory control and trend forecasting for car dealerships and manufacturers, and creating developer-focused SaaS tools.

I am particularly passionate about nurturing the upcoming generation of Product Leaders and Entrepreneurs. I enthusiastically engage in mentorship and coaching opportunities, eager to share the wisdom I have accumulated in product and business expertise. As a manager, mentor, and advisor, I firmly believe that teaching is a potent avenue for continued learning. No matter the breadth of our knowledge, there is always room for more. I leverage this mindset, whether mentoring junior team members or partnering with key cross-functional leaders, using our collective wisdom to devise long-term growth strategies that drive both operational and product success.

Whether spearheading product development processes or navigating post-merger integrations, my goal extends beyond mere problem-solving to sustainable optimization. My foundational leadership, most recently as the Director of Product Management at Public Consulting Group, has been instrumental in this. Concurrently, I mentor Product enthusiasts and contribute as a writer to several industry publications.

As I look to the future, I am eager to keep fueling innovation in Product Management and process improvement optimization. When I step away from these professional endeavors, I enjoy quality time, traveling, cooking, exploring new restaurants and breweries, and appreciating the beautiful Colorado mountains.
