About me

I moved to Boston in June 2016 and I'm excited to do what I can to help grow the Boston TM chapter--please send me your ideas for how can do better!

When I travel, I spent a lot of time trying to find great places to eat, mountains to climb and take way too many photos that are sitting somewhere on an old hard drive.

I've spent the last 10+ years building companies and products to help people travel. Currently, I'm helping travelers plan unique trips on kimkim.com, by connecting them with a global network of local travel specialists. Before that, I led the engineering team building the TripAdvisor mobile app, and before that, I helped create EveryTrail.com, a new (at the time...) way for people to share their outdoor adventures and find new ones.
