About

(AKA more information than you ever cared to know)

Hi, I’m Eliot. I am extremely passionate about make great products. I’ve worked with a web software company and a mobile app startup. I enjoy college football and extreme sports (ski, surf, mountain bike) and in my down time, I love spending time with my wife, Kristi and my hounds, Bam and Low Rider.

Product Development

I love the entire product development lifecycle from ideation to interfacing with customers.

Mobile

By 2014, more people will be using their phones to browse the web than on computers. This makes mobile the new frontier and makes me an avid participant.

Leadership

I’ve been a leader since I was in elementary school when I convinced my friends that playing with fireworks was safe; we almost caught the woods on fire, but thankfully we didn’t and everything worked out ok. Since then I’ve lead my fraternity to numerous awards and managed teams to do great things.

Web Pro

I’ve contributed to building web software for almost a decade. I love the Internet due to its truly disruptive nature. In one way or another it has affected almost every industry.

Inventor

My experience transcends the Internet – I helped invent a medical device, for which, we patented. I have plenty more inventions but lack the bank roll to see them through.

Press

Although I’m not a big fan of the spotlight, I have been featured on TV multiple times for unrelated products.
