Southern roots.
Hands-on work.
I’m an East Tennessean, born and raised, with a love for technology, wildlife, learning, trade, open source, freedom, and individual liberty.
Platforms, partners,
and hard problems.
Work
I’m a hands-on generalist solutions engineer. I work across technical, product, business, and people boundaries, helping hosting companies, SaaS products, apps, and registrars launch services, scale operations, and grow revenue.
At Automattic, I work across systems, partnerships, and sales, with most of my time spent on WP Cloud. I handle technical discovery, solution architecture, partner integrations, product shaping, service delivery, developer enablement, incident response, and escalations. I stay close to implementation by deploying code, building tools, managing servers, and troubleshooting production systems.
Personal
I’m based in East Tennessee. Away from work, I tend old farmland, brew beer, work with wood, and travel when I can, especially to Japan. I also spend time with astronomy, political science, Stoicism, and mindfulness.
