Who Am I?

In 2006 I left the work-a-day world for a break of then-undetermined length. Full of wanderlust and the desire to learn I set out to travel, careful to spend sufficient time with my daughters and wife back home. Road trips emerged as my primary theme and my travels roamed the U.S., Canada and the U.K. Soon I learned to appreciate our National Parks, the nations’ histories, and the amazing geography of this continent. As I travel I take pictures and record my musings. More recently I’ve found myself engrossed in the maker movement and the product innovation that emerges from it. These themes are what this blog is all about. When all is said and done, it’s been a good few years.

Prior to 2006 this is the sort of thing you’d have found in my bio:

Mr. Good has extensive expertise in product management, new business launch, operations, and enterprise sales.  He has managed the launch and growth of major products and corporate divisions and rapidly scaled operations to meet unprecedented levels of customer demand.  

From 2000 to 2006, Mr. Good served as Vice President of Technology and Operations at AOL Latin America, where he led the development of Latin America-specific content and technology capabilities and the scaling of operations to serve increasing consumer demand. From 1995 to 1999, he held a variety of management positions at AOL, including Vice President of AOL International, Director of Client Software Product Marketing, and Director of Global Network Navigator. He served as the product manager for AOL’s front-end software products and supervised three major upgrades in functionality as AOL expanded from 3 million to 25 million subscribers.  He was also instrumental in broad roll-out of AOL’s initial Internet access and content directory service called Global Network Navigator (GNN), which was a precursor to large consumer portal and search sites, such as Yahoo and Google. 

From 1987 to 1995, Mr. Good served in sales and management positions at GE Information Services, including founding General Manager of its operations in Mexico. Previous to that, he was with Citicorp for four years specializing in international finance. 

Mr. Good earned an International MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management and Bachelors of Science in both Industrial Engineering and Business Finance from Oregon State University.
