Enterprise Account Executive · helping critical industries adopt technology they can trust

I've spent the better part of a decade at Samsara, working with companies whose operations run in the physical world. The hard part is rarely the technology — it's earning trust and helping people change how they work. These days I'm teaching myself to build AI tools and agentic workflows, and this site is where I'll share what I learn. Outside of work I'm happiest in the mountains — backpacking in summer, skiing in winter — and last December I finished an Ironman 70.3.
