THE10×FACTOR
02 · Why Product Management matters
A great PM multiplies the output of everyone around them.
The 10× effect comes from finding the right problem, connecting it to business value and giving the team an outcome clear enough to act on.
03 · The NxProduct story
From customer conversation to released value—in days.
At Lattice, valuable product insight was trapped inside 16,000+ annual customer and prospect calls. I built a Product Intelligence solution that extracted requests with verbatim evidence, then ranked roughly 700 recurring signals by frequency, buying friction, ARR potential and churn risk. Product Managers selected 100–150 needle-moving opportunities and carried the same customer context into AI-assisted requirements, design, code and a GitHub pull request. The result: 2× feature output in three months, 4× in six months, and delivery cycles reduced from 4–6 months to 2–4 weeks—with no additional headcount.

04 · Why I built NestClock
I wanted to know when work becomes optional—not just my “retirement age.”
That question sent me deep into savings, spending, compounding, inflation and the tradeoffs hidden behind one deceptively simple date. The more I learned, the more I wanted a tool that explained the math without making retirement feel like a finance exam.
So I poured what I learned into NestClock: a free application that has become widely used by people asking the same question.

3 great kids. 3 dogs. One wonderful family.
Milestones
Three graduations—and three excellent reasons to stop everything and celebrate.
The dogs
No roadmap discipline whatsoever. Morale remains excellent.
The days between
A meal, a waterfront, a fishing line—the ordinary days that become the memorable ones.
