About

Hey!

My name is Griffin, I'm an Engineering Manager leading the Search and Discovery organization, made up of 3 teams at Apollo.io, working remotely from Buffalo, NY.

My love of management, leadership, and growth started in my first internship at Riot Games as a Development Manager. There I learned the impact that leadership in all its forms can have on a team or an organization, and the power of being a force multiplier. I've aggressively tried to vacuum up every crumb or tidbit of management experience I could find since then. I've held multiple roles across my career from software engineer to engineering manager, focusing on owning the outcome of my career and building the skills necessary to lead teams and have organization wide impact

In my personal life, I enjoy going on adventures with my wife and dogs, playing video games, cooking, 3D modeling, and recently I've taken up painting miniatures.

My Resume Review session with Griffin was incredibly useful. Maybe it was coincidental, but his advice was exactly what I needed at that point of my preparation, Griffin helped me understand where I am, and calibrate my priorities. One thing to keep in mind is that 30 minutes is a really short time as Griffin has so many insights about resume reviewing and candidate selection process to share. I genuinely recommend him if you're looking for a tech job. It is by far the best investment you can make these days
