What am I working on?

Mento
Since September 2025, I’ve been a principal product designer at Mento. We’re a coaching platform where we train coaches and sell packages to organizations. I do a combination of using AI to code changes in the platform and design experiences to integrate AI into coaching workflows (not replace human-to-human coaching).

Writing a new Email Refrigerator every month
It’s my current form of art and regular accountability to ship. Each month, I choose a theme relevant to what’s happening in my life and the world and write short essays exploring my values, philosophy, and lessons in what it means to live a good life. Why is it called the Email Refrigerator? Well first, “newsletter” sounds like spam so I wanted a different name. Second, the fridge is the best place to put up the most recent best art, the place we go to for a little snack and refreshment.

Being a better dad
I have two kids, a 7 1/2 year-old daughter and 5 year-old son. I love taking them on adventures, reading, making projects with them, and learning about life through them. I’m currently in my 3rd parenting class– this one about parenting through values. I’m always thinking about how to be a better dad and co-parent.

A new stealth startup
I can’t share too much here, but it’s building a product using AI to help with some of life’s inevitabilities.
