Bio
At 17, I joined the military to learn what it means to serve something bigger than myself. In college, I studied psychology and sociology to understand why people act the way they do. I ran an addiction research lab, making smokers quit cold turkey in the name of science. Then I spent a year DJ’ing and backpacking through Latin America with a crate of vinyl records chasing a beat, maybe chasing myself.
When I returned, I found a new calling: advertising. I was invited to use creativity to market science and technology. That spark grew into a career built on integrated campaigns that still deliver results today. But it wasn’t until I remembered the value of service that I found my true creative edge: empathy.
It’s why I bring together people, ideas, and passion to use creativity to connect technology and humanity—making complex things simple, meaningful, and accessible.
