Product Management

I currently work for Insperity as VP, Product Management. I previously was SVP, Global Product Management at Forrester, and for over 8 years was an analyst at SiriusDecisions and Forrester, helping product leaders and teams improve their practices and outcomes.

I published the blog How To Be A Good Product Manager for over 10 years, providing resources and tips on good product management practices. I used to Tweet occasionally about product management on Twitter as @jefflash but for the past few years I’ve been posting about product management on LinkedIn instead.

I founded and serve as President of the St. Louis Product Management Group, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that exists to promote the practice of product management within the St. Louis community; I also chair the  annual ProductCamp St. Louis unconference.

Pickleball

I’m a 4.0+ pickleball player (find me on DUPR) and coach — I’m a PPR Certified Coach and I’m an IPTPA Level One Certified Instructor. I’m also part of the St. Louis Shock Minor League Pickleball team

Music

I play several instruments, but mainly the vibraphone (although not as much recently)
