I’m a tech leader and part-time nerd working in IT at Mintel. Originally from Michigan, I earned my B.S. in Computer Science from Western Michigan University and spent five years in Chicago before moving around the globe. My career at Mintel took off as I moved into management, and then literally as I relocated to Shanghai and later to London. I’m now back in the suburbs of Chicago. I enjoy photography, running, biking, and radios. My kids keep me grounded, and I’m usually happiest when my radio is locked onto a high-altitude balloon that I’m about to launch.
