About
I'm a solo entrepreneur running multiple ventures from rural Utah. Alongside my own products, I do consulting work for other founders. I've been building and shipping since 2013, when I founded Wheel Shields. The longboarding safety company raised $31K on Kickstarter and reached international distribution.
