In 2018, I started SparkToro, software that makes market research accessible to everyone. I'm the author of Lost and Founder: A Painfully Honest Field Guide to the Startup World (2018), prev founded & led Moz (2001-17) and a frequent keynote speaker on marketing and entrepreneurship. But, I'm probably best known as the pasta-making husband of renowned author Geraldine DeRuiter.
