I've worked in software for over 25 years and have managed products in medical software since 2003, including clinical support software, online personal health records, secure online doctor-patient communications and electronically delivered drug warnings. I have extensive experience bringing user-focused products to market.

In 1997, I earned an MBA from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley with a focus in Technology Management and Product Development. Prior to studying business, I served in the US Air Force, in space systems acquisition at the rank of Captain. My undergraduate degree is in mechanical engineering from Washington University in St. Louis.

I enjoy traveling, staying home, running, biking, my amazing dog, wine and eco-friendly food.
