    About

    I'm passionate about changing the way we make and interact with the objects in our lives. I crave products with better stories, that enrich the lives of everyone they touch, both makers and users. I started my career in graphic design, then moved to broader marketing roles. I founded Allegory in May of 2012, on Kickstarter, when the company my wife and I worked for closed. What happened next has been an amazing journey I wouldn't trade for the world. My dad is a retired barber, he's the only person who has ever cut my hair, and he taught me how to build. I'm a father of two, and my wife (& co-founder) Jess is superwoman.
