“H.B. is a sharp product thinker, even-keeled in the face of ambiguity or high pressure, and he’s genuinely curious about people and the world around him. This combination makes H.B. an awesome colleague and a natural leader. I had the opportunity to work with H.B. when I first joined Adobe as a product manager and he was my go-to voice of sanity. He's able to cut out the noise and get at the most important question or problem. H.B. sees past the formal structure of an organization to the people within it, which enables him to drive strong collaboration and bring out the best in his colleagues. H.B. brings his whole self to work and makes it safe (and welcoming) for others to do the same. Any team would be lucky to have H.B.”

Chicken Coop at Happy Hollow Park & Zoo
-
Building a chicken coop for Happy Hollow Park & Zoo was more work than I thought (I mean I'm no spring chicken). But what I learned about myself and my community made it worth the effort.
-
Home Office
-
After living through COVID at my dingy workbench in the garage, I decided to build myself a proper office. And it turned into a metaphor for what I want in the next chapter of my work life.
-
Kitty Chamber
-
Dealing with cat litter in the house was no fun. Coming up with a hidden, easy-to-clean, cat restroom was a lot of fun.
-
Little Free Library and ACDS
-
Building a Little Free Library for Almaden Country Day School was a pleasure. But, seeing the delight in the children's eyes as they discovered new books was priceless.
-
Patio Office
-
My wife needed a space to work from home, so I built her an office in the backyard. It turned out to be one of the best ways to support her work-life balance and our family's well-being.
-
Playhouse
-
I built the Mok Family Playhouse in 2007 for the kids to use in our front yard. When they outgrew it, I donated it to their school.
