I Wrote the Book I Wished I’d Had.
My mission is to give new tech managers the playbook I never had—and to help you become the leader your team deserves.

You just landed your first manager role, and you feel like an imposter. You don’t know where to start, and you feel completely on your own.
I know that feeling. I've been there.
I learned about “faking it” long before I ever became a manager. The first time I put on a “mask” at work was in 2003, selling TVs at Future Shop. I performed, I faked confidence, and I made the sale. It’s a great strategy for sales, but a terrible one for management. Your team sees right through it.
When I did make the transition to leadership, I realized the skills that made me successful in the past were no longer the most important. It was a lonely, overwhelming journey.
That’s why I wrote this book. I made it my mission to collect the wisdom I was never taught. I sat down with more than fifty senior managers, directors, and executives to understand what they wish they had known when they were starting out.
Manager Augmented is the result. It’s not theory; it’s the proven, practical playbook I wish I’d had. It’s the system I used to climb the ranks from a junior employee to a VP in ten years.
Why Trust Me?
Proven Experience: I've climbed the ranks in tech from a junior employee to a VP. I've built and managed the high-performing teams I write about.
Deep Research: The strategies in this book aren't just mine. They're “proven” because they've been vetted by 50+ senior leaders and executives.
Author & Creator: I write the Manager Augmented newsletter, a weekly, no-fluff email with practical strategies and AI prompts for tech leaders.
My Core Belief: I believe AI is a “third brain” that can augment managers to be more strategic, more effective, and ultimately, more human.
