Founder, Ebenstone

Summary

I run Ebenstone, a software studio that scopes, designs and ships custom software for churches, small businesses and schools. Before that I spent twelve years on FastField, a platform for collecting data in the field. I was one of its first five people and held five jobs on it, from support engineer to product manager, through profitability and its 2023 acquisition by Quickbase.
