“I like unicorns and Andrew is one of them. When we met, he was kicking ass as an engineer @ Bunchball. He always thought through customer requirements and the whys of a feature much more than any other engineer - he wanted to make sure we were always building the right thing. So, I poached him to transition into a Product Manager. Andrew is a truly gifted PM. He learns new domains quickly, relates to engineers with ease, and has a keen focus on building what the market needs by listening to customers. He would be an asset to any organization, and I look forward to crossing paths in the future and working together again.”

After attending Startup Weekend Des Moines 2010, I couldn't stop myself from getting involved. I've organized 5 events and facilitated at least 6. This organization has been responsible for some of my best connections and some of my best friendships. I love it.

Still repping Ensighten, but the bag is finally starting to break down. Maybe I should see if there is a CHEQ bag out there 🤔
