About me
I've always been ambitious and excited about solving complex problems. While attending Brigham Young University pursing a degree in Economics, I was working a full time job as a call center manager for a real estate company, Cal-am. I saw an opportunity to solve a problem with our transaction management process by automating a majority of otherwise manual processes, and was promoted to lead the special project team to implement it after getting executive approval.
After seeing success with multiple internal products, I wanted to start my own company. I started a D2C SaaS company in the crypto currency space. I raised in total $1.3MM in venture capital to scale the company after achieving $700k in revenue in just a few short months. The cryptocurrency market fell out from under us 2 months later and our very lucrative revenue source plummeted to zero overnight. This was a nightmare made manifest when eventually after trying multiple pivots, we had to let the team that we had built go. I learned resilience, how to deliver bad news and how to bootstrap a product and community from nothing.
After going unpaid for 6 months and doing everything I could to salvage the company, I decided it was time to move on and I went to Robot Sea Monster Games. There I’ve launched 10+ projects ranging from video games to international awards management applications.
I am a family man with a beautiful wife and baby boy and another one on the way!
I am an avid gamer with a deep love for the psychology behind video games and what drives successful entertainment apps. I actually built a game with a friend!
I am a closet economics nerd who loves nothing more than tinkering with video game economies, reading any economics book I can get my hands on, and pondering the various incentive structures that exist in our society. I even wrote a very complex economy design article for video games.
Outside of tech, I am obsessed with nutrition and exercise. After years of counting calories I can probably guess the number of calories in any meal just by looking at it! Try me!
