Speaking & conversations

Ideas worth sharing. Conversations worth having.

I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned through building products, working in manufacturing, and bringing people together. From technology and entrepreneurship to leadership and community, I’m interested in conversations that challenge assumptions and explore better ways forward.
