Product Marketing & Sales Enablement
A senior IC ready to jump in and solve problems. Fast.
Twenty-five+ years of senior IC product marketing across EdTech, cybersecurity, real-time collaboration, environmental SaaS, and workforce tech. Pragmatic Marketing certified. Launched products that won awards, built category-defining messaging from zero, and created seller programs that were used by sellers.
Moved the needle in win-loss reporting, positioning and messaging, demo coaching and role plays, webinars with <5% drop-off (vs. 50%+), roundtables, & show floor refactors. AI workflows are how I work, today. Drove a $0 to $6.5M pipeline in a category that didn't exist before us as well as worked with mature products. Fast ramp. Senior judgment. Fun.
AI Storytelling App
A PMM who proves understanding of today's AI beyond research and writing assistance.
Try Res-O-Matic. A market problem I solved myself. Hiring managers want stories that map to their specific problems. I built an agentic app to choose your own adventure. Pulls real career stories, portfolio samples, and references from a structured private dataset based on what the hiring manager is interested in.
Built on Claude Code w/Claude API, WordPress, and SQL + custom data tags. No templates, no generic output. This project shows the pattern recognition and synthesis I bring to the table: Identify needs, plan and build, & iterate fast. Res-O-Matic. It's the kind of innovation and action I bring to the table.
Don't Drive Like This™
An entrepreneur who risks his own money and time. And learns how to value yours.
I pooled all of my career learning from instructional design, illustration, research, pricing, book design, ecommerce, CRM, GTM, partnership outreach, and sales models for gov, educational, and B2C. Then planned and executed with my hands and vendors I vetted and hired.
Tests and sales at conferences and online show strong PMF signals. Educators and parents responded to the approach. A light touch on a serious topic. Next? P/T work toward outright sale to an educational publisher who can do a broader outreach than I can. All this amazing learning and doing is directly applicable to your team.
Dads of Disability
A writer who can interview, coach, teach, and deal with PR + Social outreach.
A book for fathers raising children with disabilities and the mothers who love them. Honest stories, no platitudes, and practical perspective on a journey most fathers face without explicit support. Press coverage, podcast appearances, and speaking invitations for more than a decade. Led storytelling workshop for 75 fathers, spoke at Columbia (Best Guest Presenter Award, '21), Brandeis, Tufts, Johns Hopkins, & NIH, and appeared on Hidden Brain's "My Unsung Hero" (NPR).
"The stories are raw and honest and they allow the reader to rest in their vulnerable truths." Used by genetic counseling programs, social workers, parents, cited in academic papers, and included in statewide disability program lists.
