I love helping others, particularly those whose basic rights are under attack and those impacted by poor public policy. Over the years, I volunteered my time with organizations like [Human Rights First,](https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/) [Vets for American Ideals](https://vfai.org/), [Team Rubicon](https://teamrubiconusa.org/), [Operation White Stork](https://operationwhitestork.org/) and the [Veterans Collaborative](https://collaborate.vet/), which I co-founded in 2014. I developed an application called FastTrack that helped track vaccine distribution during the H1N1 outbreak in 2011 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 awareness. You can learn more about some of these here in [[Projects]]. My professional background is in Computer Science and I’ve been leading product & strategy since 2012 after the first stage of my career where I developed software and managed engineering teams. I’ve worked in senior leadership roles at a range of organizations, from small startups to public companies and government, leading highly cross-functional teams of product managers, engineers, user researchers, designers, professional services and support staff. You can find a full copy of my resume [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/12QUrzjYtw5qL-vK0DGNpNIh6Jj4gbCig/view?usp=sharing). I’m a builder at heart. I like to hone my skills by developing great 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 was born in Tralee, Ireland and enlisted in the Marines shortly after getting my green card in the United States. I served for 12 years both in the reserves and on active duty, spending time in places like the arctic circle in Norway and Iraq. I now live in the Boston area with my wife and twins.
