Hi friend! I'm looking forward to sharing all sorts of awesome tidbits from the lands of #Mobile, #Marketing, #Strategy, #Privacy, #VR, #UX, #ProductManagement and #LeanProduct!

HEYO!

Finally into the kick-ass weather of Michigan’s spring! #YAAAASSS!

I just took a long weekend down to my mom’s house in FL where I grew up. Got to hang with mom for Mother’s Day and get a bunch of work done with my new venture.

I did some reading on the plane so now I know what’s good enough to send to all of you!

Let me know if there’s any current topics or rumblings in the world that you’d like me to address or answer questions on!

Have a kick-ass week!
