Hi. My Name Is Chris.

I am a product focused, versatile engineering leader adept at software and data engineering, technical product strategy and cross-functional team leadership. I take pride in building and motivating productive teams that care about solving important problems, love what they do and believe in the results of their work.

I strive to achieve the following in my professional life: surround myself with astute, positive, opinionated people; be challenged and make an impact every day; improve my team in any way possible; work on meaningful things and solve problems that are worth solving; have fun.

I embrace change, so much so that when I feel stale I intentionally jolt my system to alter my surroundings. I don't sit still very well. I'm sure this drives my family insane.

Incredibly Important Facts.

A super long time ago I sang in a punk band. If I could plot coolness over time, this phase might end up being my peak. Perhaps someday I'll challenge it; math says otherwise.

I'm addicted to snowboarding. I tried skateboarding again, figuring it'd be easier to do on a whim. It's not the same, and really it’s just a matter of time until I hurt myself. The fact that I sort of suck at skateboarding isn't helping.

I run and bike a whole lot. If it wasn’t for the potential of dying out on the open water as a barely getting by swimmer, I’d be a great mediocre triathlete.

I hit a hole-in-one once. I'm not a very good golfer which makes this comical. I hold it over my brother's head; he's an excellent golfer. This achievement is immortalized on a plaque, with my name, misspelled, in a lodge.
