Product leader · Builder · Charlotte, NC

I work on hard problems
and build things
I believe in.

Currently in figuring things out mode.

I'm Mike, a husband and dad who enjoys challenging projects, keeping things simple, and staying close to technology.

I'm naturally curious about how businesses work, how products succeed, and how technology can make both better.

I like figuring out what needs to be done, making a plan, and sticking with it until it works.

I like taking something complicated, asking a lot of questions, and finding a way forward that makes sense.

I would rather test an idea, see what happens, and adjust than spend forever trying to make the perfect plan.

Starting is fun, but I get the most satisfaction from sticking with something and making it real.

building & exploring.
