work

  • Head of Engineering, Magpie Literacy
    After 8 months of consulting as the interim Head of Engineering, I went through the search process and took the opportunity to join the team on a permanent basis. I'm excited about the work ahead of us.
  • Founder, Breakpoint Wellness LLC
    I'm a practicing health and wellness coach, with dual certifications from Precision Nutrition. I'll also be pursuing board certification in the next year. As for now, Breakpoint Wellness is open and seeing a limited number of clients, in order to maximize my relationships.

learn

  • Specialization: Organizational Leadership
    I've completed 3+ of the 6 courses in this specialization offered by Northwestern University (via Coursera). It's been pretty insightful thus far, and looking forward to continuing to grow and improve as a manager/leader.
  • ISSA - Strength & Conditioning Certification
    I'm starting to supplement my nutrition and wellness education with more, well-rounded activity and fitness certification. I'm going for this before moving on toward my CPT course (which I want to tackle after board certification).

training

  • Running season 2025 Continuing my return from injury in 2024, my marathon training is off to an okay start, The goal remains to add at least 2 marathons to the list, and maybe tackle 3-5 states that I haven't run a half marathon in yet. I'm reviving my goal of running a half marathon in all 50 states before my 51st birthday.
