I’ve been building products on the web since 1997 — long enough to live through every paradigm shift from dial-up to mobile to AI. I created the first website for Keyhole, which became Google Earth. I’ve built community platforms and web software for some of the highest traffic internet real estate my entire career. The technology itself is rarely the hard part. Making it scalable, accessible and easy to use — that’s the work.

Seventeen years ago a blood clot triggered a heart attack from a heart defect I didn’t know I had. Years later I had emergency open heart surgery. I’ve run ultramarathons, rode centuries, and now building a startup. I went through the fire and learned life’s secrets. Now I’m channeling all of it into GMTech — and building communities that improves people’s lives.
