About Me

I’m a healthtech startup entrepreneur working to make it as easy as possible for normal people to understand and improve their health and wellness.

My past lives were spent in Asia, about a decade in Tokyo/Yokohama and another three years in Beijing. I’ve worked at Apple (marketing), several Silicon Valley startups including WebTV and uBiome, Microsoft (product development) and elsewhere. I grew up in rural Neillsville, Wisconsin and was educated at Stanford and Wharton. I live near Seattle.

Besides helping startups make great personal science products, I like doing data analysis in R and Python for several years’ worth of my own near-daily microbiome, continuous glucose monitoring, heart rate, sleep, and more.
