Product executive · Founder · TEDx speaker
I build products, teams, and revenue engines — often all at once.
Two decades of building from zero: a nationally recognized nonprofit, one of Denver's largest developments unblocked after a decade of opposition, a bootstrapped healthcare marketplace scaled seven-fold — and now AI that actually knows the person it works for.

The throughline
Align people around a shared vision. Build the systems to execute. Deliver where no one has all the authority and everyone has an opinion.
Community & place
Co-founded Re:Vision and grew it from an idea to $3M+ a year and the largest community-led urban agriculture program in the country. Then, as a consultant, turned a decade of community opposition into the benefits deal that unblocked a 250-acre development.
Marketplace
First executive hire at Switch, a bootstrapped healthcare staffing marketplace. Built the revenue engine as CRO, then the product, engineering, and design organization as CPO.
AI
Authored the company AI roadmap, led an engineering org through becoming AI-native, and founded SolarisAI — AI that actually knows the person it works for.
And at every stop, the brand — voice, positioning, website — built by hand. See how →
Now building
SolarisAI
AI that actually knows you — and behaves like it.
Most AI forgets who you are the moment the chat ends. SolarisAI configures your AI to behave on your behalf — grounded in how you actually work, what you know, and what you mean — so you get better outcomes than you could get anywhere else. Founder-led and deliberately small: a handful of engagements at a time.
