Connected Products · IoT · Global Manufacturing
Connected Products & Product Development Executive — sixteen years designing and shipping hardware, from concept and supply chain to mass production, across five countries.
I build connected hardware — and the teams, supply chains, and brands that bring it to market. Strategy, design, and global manufacturing, from first sketch to the production line.
Selected Work
Connected hardware I've designed, engineered, and taken to market — owning vision, supply chain, and quality through to production.

About
I lead the strategy, development, and global manufacturing of connected products — IoT ecosystems, hardware and firmware, mobile and cloud platforms — from first concept through mass production.
Across the United States, Australia, China, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom, I've directed product roadmaps, new product development, supplier qualification, and manufacturing transfer. Most recently I built the RVLock Scout connected ecosystem and moved two flagship lock platforms to a new manufacturing partner — reducing risk, raising quality, and securing long-term product ownership.
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I've spent much of my career overseas and speak fluent Mandarin Chinese. Away from product, I'm in the mountains, or at the bench practicing lapidary and silversmithing.
