About Me

Hi there, so glad you dropped by!

I am not your average Customer Support Manager.

On top of regular Customer Support Manager expectations, you will find that this geek enjoys a host of other -beneficial- interests. Such as working closely with the engineering team, bubbling up customer feedback to the product team, and finding other ways to ensure our customers have an outstanding experience.
