About

Hi. My name is Mike Arnesen and, professionally, I’m the Founder & CEO at a delightful company I called UpBuild. That means I work to keep people happy, manage our finances, work on the super challenging projects and tasks that need an extra brain on them, and type a lot of emails. I’m excited about starting work every day.  I’ve been working on the web since 2006 and I can’t imagine doing anything else.

Personally, I’m a total geek for optimization (both of the internet and of life), the high fantasy genre, board games, reading, writing. I’m married to and amazing woman and we live in Portland, Oregon with two fluffy dogs. I’m also vegan and I don’t drink (which can make planning business meetings interesting).

My goal in all of this ::gestures broadly:: is to be of service. If there’s anything I can do to help you out or you just want to learn more about me, just get in touch.
