I met my wife while in high school in Germany, where we had the chance to travel around Europe. My wife is an Air Force officer, and we had the opportunity to learn Japanese and move to Japan.

I began my career as a graphic designer working in advertising, creating logos, and designing print materials. More emphasis was being made on responsive web and mobile, so I began teaching myself html and css to help the agency. From there I discovered my love for mobile and mobile interactions. I’m now building and managing the design team at Slant, and redefining what it means to buy new products.
