Software Engineer. Founder. Marathon Runner.

About

I'm a software engineer and startup founder with 15+ years of experience building products from zero to scale. I co-founded Bright Cellars, growing it from an idea to 100+ employees and 8-figure revenue. These days I'm building AI-powered tools at Airtable. When I'm not coding, I'm chasing my goal of running a marathon in all 50 U.S. states.

The 50-State Challenge

I'm on a mission to run a marathon in every U.S. state. From the streets of Berlin (PR: 3:01:04) to ultramarathons, running is the thread that ties everything together.
