A dynamic and purpose-driven technologist and community leader, I blend professional acumen with deeply rooted values of sustainability, innovation, and service. As the founder of Garden Tribe, a non-profit dedicated to cultivating fresh, organic produce for unhoused communities, I’m driven by a commitment to social impact through technology and nature
I bring the same energy and creativity to my personal life: I'm a proud father of three confident, strong, and smart daughters, and husband to a FinTech executive whose leadership inspires my own. Our family thrives on adventure—whether summiting Mount Everest Base Camp, trekking through Central Europe, or plunging into ice glacial waters.
I'm a passionate tech enthusiast and sustainability advocate, always exploring new frontiers in energy storage, solar tech, and water conservation. I’m building scalable, eco-conscious home and garden systems that combine engineering rigor with environmental ethics.
Whether coaching rec soccer, conquering Tough Mudder challenges, or tinkering with next-gen technology alongside my 90-pound golden doodle Lucky, I embody a blend of grit, empathy, and ingenuity.
Alongside my work with Garden Tribe, I’m honored to contribute my time and expertise to causes and initiatives that shape the future and elevate others. I’ve been invited to guest lecture at King's College London’s Business School, speaking on the intersections of marketing, artificial intelligence, and the evolving landscape of data privacy and ethics. At Chicago Booth, I’ve shared program management best practices with emerging business leaders, emphasizing strategic execution in high-stakes environments.
My work in innovation has taken me to the San Diego Research Forum, where I presented on High Performance Computing and applying MLOps best practices to deep sea exploration. I’ve also joined global leaders as a panelist with the IEEE Power and Energy Society in Washington D.C., discussing the role of AI in energy policy and infrastructure evolution.
Through Connect.org, I mentored start-up founders and entrepreneurs from socio-economically disadvantaged communities—helping shape their ideas into sustainable ventures with lasting impact. And in quieter moments, I support my wife on her Meals on Wheels delivery routes—because compassion begins close to home.
