I am a seasoned footwear designer with a deep understanding and appreciation of both modern and traditional shoe constructions. My passion is to make captivating product that resonates emotionally with the consumer and ultimately perpetuates their style and performance needs.
I pride myself on having a strong work ethic, respect for tradition, and at the same time a burning desire to reinvent it. I love leading and mentoring by example, honoring the principles of integrity, consistency, and simplicity.
My career began with a focus on performance and outdoor product and I have rounded it out with rugged, dress, and casual experience across several brands. I’ve designed and directed for multiple categories that have generated significant revenue-driving product. Some of the programs and patented technologies I created as a younger designer are still being used and sold today.
I was born and raised just outside of Boston, Massachusetts and have always made New England my home. My career has been footwear-design focused, but I also enjoy other fields of graphic and product design and have a fondness for the fine arts. When I am not drawing, I am often playing hockey, working with my hands, or just enjoying the outdoors with my family.
