Small-town networking, AI-powered entrepreneurship, and finding opportunity in Maine's landscape
Read More: June 2025 RecapOrganizations, ventures, and teams I’ve helped innovate, operate, or grow.
Many of these projects were a team effort at 💙 8020. You can view my LinkedIn for a full history.
Max is a human swiss army knife. He's no-bullshit, hardworking, great at communicating, and fun to work with. He understands how to take a creative vision and turn it into a reality, and make the entire process of getting there smooth, structured, and painless. He'll always go the extra mile to figure it out.

Max is one of - if not *the* - most talented, well-rounded, and curious people I’ve ever gotten the chance to work with. While his technical abilities are exceptional, what truly makes Max stand out are his remarkable soft skills. He is insatiably curious and patient beyond measure, approaching every challenge with a genuine desire to understand and improve.

There are very few people I have worked with who are as effective at being creative as Max. Not only does he create phenomenal products but he effortlessly oversees his ideas to implementation. The way he approaches problems and the questions he asks to ascertain root causes has provided immeasurable value to the Wishlist Product and overall business.

Max has blown away my expectations every time I've interacted with him. In 2 days, he wrote a robust script to automate a task I had expected to take him months; he would stay late and come in early and was always taking it to another level. I would recommend Max hands down for any team, and would trust him to learn/ figure out any skill he may be missing.

Scenes from my version of the good life.
