Tell us exactly what you do.
"In the past couple of years, I've been primarily designing mobile apps, hopefully making them more delightful for you to use."
What is the coolest part about your job?
"The coolest part of my job is actually touching real peoples' lives in a meaningful way. Designing a better web browser or news reader or social network can genuinely bring people together, help people achieve their goals, and can make their lives better. When you get to do something like that on a very large scale, it's awfully fun."
How would you describe your style?
"I'm into classic styles and I have a weakness for what my wife affectionately calls 'old man' sweaters. I generally prefer wool, tweed, and denim. Luckily, a guy can wear wool sweaters and scarves all year 'round in San Francisco."
Your wedding was so stylish it was featured in Brides magazine. Can you tell us a little more about the theme?
"Our wedding was a collaborative effort between my wife and I — she's an illustrator and art director. To be honest, it was at least 70% her effort! The overall feeling we were going for was an upscale picnic or, as my wife would put it, an all-out hootenanny. So, much of the wedding was outdoors, we had picnic baskets on the tables, catering was by Straw in Hayes Valley, and there was an enormous bounty of pies and desserts by my sister!"
