Over the course of the past 20+ years I've been fortunate to have been involved in several different industries, exposing me to a wide variety of design challenges and differing consumer needs. I was heavily focused on front-end product development as a mechanical engineer for most of my career, and have transitioned into an innovation leadership role over the past 5+ years.
In my current role in innovation at Nautilus, we're using a consumer-centric design approach to redefine the consumer experience in the fitness industry. My team is challenged with finding ways to combine new technologies with exercise science to meet the needs of home fitness consumers. I love the collaborative design process and encouraging teams to think in new ways...and I really love big challenges, especially when the solution seems impossible! We know we have done our job well when we hear how we have created lasting positive change in our consumers lives - there is nothing better than that! These are the things that drive me. Outside of work I spend a lot of time getting my hands dirty with multiple car projects and home remodeling. I'm definitely a project and problem solving addict. I also enjoy cycling, and race cyclocross during the fall season. I'm passionate about health and fitness, learning new things, and sharing new experiences with my family and friends.
