Program leader · Builder · Writer
I’m curious about a lot of things.
I like building, learning, and figuring things out. That might happen through leadership and technology, time with my family, life on our farm, or whatever project or hobby catches my interest.
Experience
Work I’m proud of and lessons I’ve learned.
Developing people and better ways of working
Mentored more than seven associates into Agile leadership roles, including four full-time Scrum Masters. Helped improve average team-health scores from 5.3 to 8.9 and create delivery standards adopted across more than 30 teams.
Learning by doing
Learned by taking on unfamiliar challenges: building a comic business, paying down debt and helping others budget, becoming a first-generation farmer, caring for our property, and finding better ways to balance work, health, and family.
