I founded Cultivated Culture in April 2016 and have been its CEO ever since, building a three‑pillar job‑search system that skips the application black hole, builds a repeatable pipeline, and uses AI to win. Prior to that I spent five years at Microsoft—first as a Partner Manager (Oct 2015 – Feb 2019) then as Director of Partner Development (Feb 2019 – Oct 2020)—and earlier I founded Open Water Analytics (Jan 2011 – Nov 2015), where I delivered digital‑marketing lead generation that sold every house in a private golf community at less than one‑third the typical commission. I also held account roles at Taboola, RevTrax, and Johnson & Johnson, and contributed articles to Business Insider and Forbes.

I position myself as a career coach who helps professionals land high‑pay tech jobs without relying on traditional online applications. The job market has shifted dramatically, with AI reshaping hiring and thousands of applicants flooding each posting within hours.
The job market has changed more in the last 2 years than the last 20.
500+ people apply to the same posting in 24 hours after it's live.
