About
Outside the work.
San Antonio roots, Arlington, VA life. Father, Spurs fan, and someone who takes pancakes very seriously.
Where are you from?
I'm from San Antonio, Texas, and now live in Arlington, VA. Texas is still home in the ways that matter, and the one thing I genuinely haven't replaced up here is the Tex-Mex.
What does life outside of work look like?
Father of two daughters, which is the main event. I'm a lifelong San Antonio Spurs fan, and I played billiards competitively in college — still pick up a cue when I can.
What are you into lately?
Lately it's been a mix of astronomy, weather, and anything that helps me understand how complex systems work. I follow James Webb images pretty closely, and I'm also the person with three weather apps on my phone. That same curiosity probably explains more about my career than I'd like to admit.
Anything that shapes how you think that wouldn't show up on a resume?
I've been fortunate to travel a lot. My in-laws are in Mumbai, close friends in London, and I've made it to places like Senegal, Turkey, and Australia along the way. Those experiences have given me a real appreciation for how differently people approach problems depending on where they're from. It makes a difference working across global teams when the world doesn't feel that abstract to you.
What does a good weekend look like?
Making pancakes with my daughter on a Saturday morning, or the whole family heading to the farmers market. Then a good meal with the neighbors in the evening. That's a full day.
How did you end up in marketing operations?
I didn't exactly choose it so much as grow into it. My first internship was supposed to be about fixing a nonprofit's website, and I ended up building a full membership management platform instead. I didn't have a name for that instinct at the time. It turns out there's a whole career built around it.
