I’ve been building products on the web since 1997 — long enough to live through every paradigm shift from dial-up to mobile to AI. I created the first website for Keyhole, which became Google Earth. I’ve built community platforms and run IT for organizations with tens of thousands of members. The technology itself is rarely the hard part. Getting real people to trust it — that’s the work.

Seventeen years ago a blood clot triggered a heart attack from a heart defect I didn’t know I had. Years later I had emergency open heart surgery. I came out the other side running ultramarathons. Now I’m channeling all of it into GMTech — and running the most trusted trail reports in the birthplace of mountain biking.
