Im a product guy and I love solving problems and scaling products. Whether it be tackling access to justice in the court system or finding more efficient ways of connecting travelers, Ive worked on a wide variety of unique projects. In 2013, I began helping legal organizations scale their businesses and think about innovation in a new way. I was immediately recognized by the National Center for State Courts as leader for innovation and have continued to focus on solving challenges for attorneys ever since. I also dove headfirst into farming and agriculture when I started Little Apple Ranch in Northern California. Working with Sheep, alpacas, cattle, goats, and emu provides daily lessons in patience as they see the world differently. Being able to apply lessons from the farm is very useful when dealing with A-type execs, engineers, and VCs.
Projects:
Lumix makes big data small using its technology to help attorneys cut down on their research and case preparation. I led a rebrand and redesign of their site and platform.
Nationwide Legal is a national leader in attorney services and provides exceptional support and simplicity for attorneys and their teams. Noah led the rebrand and platform development for NWL
Little Apple Ranch grew out of my love for animals and nature. Based in Apple Hill, California, one of the most beautiful growing regions in the state, Im building a home for a wide variety of animals, plants, and trees
I built SimpleCase to simplify collection, preparation, and presentation of facts in legal proceedings. Simple is a case facts timeline that will save attorneys and self represented litigants significant time and money and can even be used by judges to normalize facts in a case. I began development in September 2019 and am releasing it in early 2020
The Argonaut sits on historic ground in Coloma, Ca, where the great Gold Rush of 1849 started. The cafe sits in the Marshall Gold Discovery State Park and serves healthy breakfast and lunch options as well as kick-ass gelato and Temple coffee. Im a bit biased, but most visitors agree that it is the best healthy dining option in Gold Country and since much of the produce comes from our farm next door, it is a unique farm to table experience.
Bee Love Farms is my home away from home and it serves as a learning garden for many of California’s elementary students. The farm has unique learning stations that teach visitors about the lifecycle of plants and animals. In addition, much of the produce goes to supply the argonaut We do farm tours as well as farm dinners in the summer
One Legal is a court technology company that simplifies electronic filing of legal documents. Before taking over the position of Chief Product Officer, I was One Legal’s GM, running Product, Marketing, Engineering, and Sales
Startup Chile is an incubator based in Santiago that funded 2 of my projects, DoTheGlobe and Trovali. I was later asked to become a judge and then advisor to the program as it expanded.
Tagged along on an erosion control mission and flew through the epic West Maui Mountains ššæ Incredible to see the beauty of these mountains and the important work being done to protect the Ź»Äina and keep the water flowing. One thing I didnāt realize is how much impact feral pigs and other creatures have on erosion in Hawaii and why there are so many pig/deer hunters on the islands. Feral pigs are a major cause of erosion in Hawaii. As they root through the soil in search of food, they disturb the ground, removing vegetation and loosening the soil. This destruction of native plants weakens root systems that naturally stabilize the land, increasing the risk of soil erosion, especially during heavy rains. The pigs also create pathways for water runoff, further accelerating erosion and leading to sediment being washed into streams and coastal areas, which can harm coral reefs and marine ecosystems. They also uproot fire resistant vegetation which has become an issue in dryer parts of the island. #hawaiilife #ErosionControl #westmaui #PreserveParadise #maui
Bluebell the baby alpaca just wanted to make a friend, but one of my rams.. had other plans! Watch as she gets a surprise tail-smack to the face, and hilariously bolts off. Farm life at its finest š #alpacasofinstagram #babyanimals #farmlife #babyalpaca #ranchlife #friendsnotfood
Introducingā¦Blue Bell, named after the beautiful flower and an homage to Texasās finest ice cream, which I miss on these hot Tahoe days, she was born yesterday morning to mom Pepper and is under the always watchful (blue) eye of her dad Rye (aka Randy), big brother, Truffle, big sister Rose.. and a bunch of overly protective aunts(..Eleanor/Barbara)

Pumpkin was born one year ago today. We didnāt think sheād make it more than a couple hours, but sheās always had an amazing spirit and persistence. She was my roommate for the first 2 months living and then I slowly integrated her with her family and the rest of the herd. She was on the bottle for 6 months and thankfully we had help from friends along the way when I was away. Sheās healthy and happy spending her days grazing and playing with her siblings and farm fam up here in Apple Hill.

Baby bulls love a good scratch and Goji is no exception. Iāve been testing out various implements, tools, and sticks and this seems to be his favorite. Bask in the ASMR of a good cowscratch

New baby alert!! This little boy alpaca cria was born today at noon. I brought him in for his checkup and now he is out in the barn with his mom, dad, and sisters. Sticking to the plants/vegetables/herbs theme here at Little Apple Ranch, send your name recommendations so we can get this guy a proper name.

A hot, dusty summer here at Little Apple Ranch and everyone is excited for apple season. The herd actually gets over 500 lbs of apple and carrot scraps every week from our neighbors @barsottijuice in addition to orchard, and pasture grass, and a bit of alfalfa. Here weāve got a few of the alpacas Pepper, Pumpkin, Rose, Apple and Goji- the highland cows and my favorite old sheep, Blackie.

When Pumpkin was born she had a floppy earā¦ This happens sometimes with premature crias. Thanks to a cardboard splint, her ear is straight as an arrow.

Spa Day for Pumpkin and the gang at Little Apple Ranch. When summer comes around in Northern California, itās time to take off the winter coats. Fortunately for the highland cows and sheep, they shed, but the alpacas need a little help.
