Clay Coffman
I've heard that the hardest thing in the world is change. The second hardest is writing a blurb about yourself.
I've worn a lot of different hats in my career. I scratched and clawed my way into tech via sales but ultimately I've always loved building products, so I feel like I ended up in the right place in product management. Whether it's software, legos, or motorcycles, I've always been tinkering or building something.
