  Founder

  Ulric · Eugene, OR

  I founded Ulric to put both halves of my career to work in one place: software, design, and custom intelligence, built end to end. Custom platforms, CMS and CRM builds, branding, and agentic consulting. It is the second Richers software company to call Oregon home, and I run every build with an agentic toolchain.

  Recovery

  Years of competing gave way to years of struggling. I struggled with addiction and personal hardship, overcame it, and got into recovery in 2014. Recovery became the reason for everything that followed. I work with people in crisis because I have been the person in crisis.

  2010s

  GreenGO, with Ulrich

  A side project with my dad: an app to map every fruit tree in the neighborhood, fruit free for the picking. We never finished it. His dementia arrived first. It still says everything about the house I grew up in, where no dream was too big.

  2002

  First lines of code

  I started coding at fourteen, in a house run by two immigrant engineers: an East German father and a Mexican mother, both of whom made things for a living.

  "Doubts don't sink South sophomore"

  Junior tennis

  I grew up traveling the country for junior tennis tournaments. The quote is a headline the local sports page ran about me as a South Eugene sophomore.

  1988

  Born in Eugene

  The same year Advanced Relay Corporation, my father Ulrich's protocol software company, moved from Berkeley to Eugene. He escaped communist East Germany, got his family out, and traveled the world installing early hardware and software systems before founding ARC. The lesson I took from him: no dream is too big.
