Math strategies for middle school
This is a collection of notes I’m taking while the kids are ramping up on middle school math.
I’m a problem solver at heart with foundations in software development and team leadership. I have over a decade of experience leading product and strategy for organizations ranging from startups to public companies.
I love working in cross-functional teams of product managers, engineers, user researchers, designers, services and support staff. You can find a full copy of my resume here.
I like to hone and build new skills by working on high-impact products while keeping a beginner’s mindset. You can read more about my thoughts on product development & management, which includes many references to great material put together by wonderful product leaders I’ve followed over the years in Practice of Product. I’ve built an agent-friendly version on github (contact me for access).
I care about helping others, particularly those whose basic rights are being challenged and those impacted by poor public policy. Over the years, I volunteered my time with organizations like Human Rights First, Veterans for American Ideals, Team Rubicon, Operation White Stork and the Veterans Collaborative, which I co-founded. In 2011 I developed an application called FastTrack that helped track vaccine distribution during the H1N1 outbreak as part of my work with Cosanta. I’m currently a member of the Veterans Advisory Council for Everytown for Gun Safety where I focus on suicide prevention and developed Tracer, a tool to track illegal guns. You can learn more about some of these here in Projects.
I was born in Tralee, Ireland and served in the US Marines for 12 years in the reserves and on active duty. I now live in the Boston area with my wife and twins.

This vault uses tags instead of a folder hierarchy, so any note can live at multiple intersections of topic simultaneously. Obsidian’s search, graph view, and Dataview all work better with tags than with nested folders.
