I've been working in UX and design in some form for over 20 years, and I've had the amazing opportunity to help build products and connect them with the fascinating humans that use them. My work has taken me across fields as diverse as health care, fintech, military and law enforcement, construction management, and home, family, and internet protection.

In pursuit of my passion for media and design, I once helped film a training exercise with the U.S. Army inside a simulated alleyway. Rather than helping with a camera or audio, my job during production this time was to dress up like a Bad Guy and sit in an side room, pretending to make explosives. This resulted in my being shot by multiple paintball rounds from several directions. It hurt.

When not solving user problems I write music, some of which might make it onto TV, films, or video games. Sometimes I get to play bass very loudly on stages with cover bands, personal projects, as backup for singer-songwriters, or in the band for musical theatre.

I'm a terrible surfer and snowboarder, but do both as often as occasion allows.

I currently live in Sandy, Utah with my wife, two adorable kids, and a somewhat less-than-adorable mix of dogs, birds, and ducks.
