Folio I — The Story

The Long Form

Two decades of building, advising, and shipping — from a kitchen table in Northern California.

My story.

Empowering exceptional experiences with technology platforms, digital solutions, and even life.

Empowering exceptional experiences with technology platforms, digital solutions, and even life. I'm a builder of commerce technology, platforms, and ecosystems — and my mantra revolves around creating, innovating, and challenging the status quo.

Rooted deeply in the art of digital creation, my first online media platform — born from a love for biking adventures — is a testament to a lifelong obsession with digital technology. I am not just a technologist; I'm a creative, a growth architect, and a new ventures builder, all rolled into one.

Past Ventures

As a serial new venture builder with a passion for turning ideas into reality, my past ventures span a plethora of industries. As co-founder and CTO of Vander, we transformed the global commerce landscape, connecting brands and consumers seamlessly.

While at White Rabbit, a venture studio, we built a multi-talented team toward breaking barriers, questioning norms, and crafting revolutionary solutions for startup founders to take an idea through development and into scale. The team proudly secured 2 Best in Show awards and an exceptional assortment of 7 Gold and 1 Silver accolades in the prestigious American Advertising Awards.

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
— Albert Einstein

Skybolt & Marquee Clients

While in college I founded Skybolt, an award-winning agency that worked closely with world-renowned brands — offering project management, web development, and marketing technology solutions to marquee clients including MLB, Disney, Qualcomm, and Adidas.

Family & Life

I'm happily married to my wife, Cortney, for the past decade and together since meeting in High School Spanish class. We've welcomed my daughter and son to our family, along with our dog and the growing Tuckers Farm of Chickens. Photography has always been a long-term passion — in 2018 I was promoted to family staff photographer.

I'm a cycling enthusiast — from mountain biking the Cascade-Sierra Nevada Mountains to a 180-mile tour from Reno, Nevada to Chico, California with my wife (the most notable shared touring experience yet). I'm based in greater Northern California and seek to make a meaningful difference daily.

I'm not just about technology or commerce. I'm about the experience.

Every venture, every project, every collaboration is a testament to my commitment to delivering exceptional experiences. Whether you're a startup founder or part of a global conglomerate, my expertise in commerce, product development, UX/UI design, and entrepreneurship is bound to inspire and drive results.
