Building technology that helps people become more themselves.

I work at the intersection of AI, creativity, taste, and human behavior — helping founders define new categories, shape meaningful products, and tell stories that make unfamiliar ideas feel intuitive.

What I BelieveField note

Technology has become incredibly good at helping us do things faster. I'm interested in what it can help us do better.

The products that shape the future won't simply automate work — they'll expand creativity, deepen connection, and help people express more of who they are.

That's the kind of future I want to help build.

Right Now I'm ExploringCurrent
  • AI as a creative partner — not just a productivity tool.
  • How taste becomes something we can understand, remember, and develop.
  • Why shopping should feel more like creating than consuming.
  • Community in an increasingly AI-driven world.
  • Products that change human behavior — not just workflows.

Brands I've founded, shaped, and helped scale.

Curate

Building an AI-native home for taste.

What if shopping wasn't about buying — but about becoming?

I'm building an AI-native concept that helps people organize inspiration, develop personal taste, and transform shopping into a creative workspace rather than a transaction.

Softmax AI

Helping build the future of AI.

Building breakthrough technology is only half the challenge.

Working alongside Emmett Shear and the founding team inside an AI research lab gave me a front-row seat to one of the fastest-moving industries in the world — and reinforced that helping people understand why it matters is the other half.

Liquor Lab

Building community through experience.

Every initiative centered around moments people wanted to come back to.

Led brand strategy and storytelling for a national hospitality brand focused on turning shared experiences into lasting communities — from product launches to content systems.

Sticks

A brand built around meaning.

Great brands don't simply sell products. They help people express who they are.

I founded Sticks to celebrate craftsmanship, culture, and the stories objects carry with them — from artisan villages to a customer's closet.

Questions I keep coming back to.

Shopping has a memory problem.

How AI can help people remember, refine, and build personal taste.

Human computing is a behavioral shift.

Technology doesn't change the world. People changing their behavior does.

The future belongs to taste.

As AI makes creation accessible to everyone, taste becomes one of our most valuable human skills.

A softer model of ambition.

Can we build extraordinary companies without sacrificing family, creativity, health, and wonder?

AboutBio

I've spent the last fifteen years building brands, launching products, and working alongside founders across consumer companies, startups, and AI.

Looking back, I realized I wasn't chasing industries. I was chasing one question: how do people learn to care about something entirely new?

That curiosity has taken me from building my own consumer brand, to helping scale an AI research lab, to developing Curate — an idea born from my belief that technology should help us become more creative, not less.

Today I spend most of my time thinking about AI, taste, community, creativity, and the products that quietly shape culture. I believe the next generation of technology won't be remembered because it was faster. It'll be remembered because it helped us become more ourselves.

Beyond WorkOff the clock

The life we build matters just as much as the companies we build.

Outside of work you'll usually find me surfing, sailing, wandering through bookstores, traveling, or sketching ideas for products I'd love to exist.

I'm building a career that leaves room for curiosity, family, adventure, and meaningful work — because I don't believe success should require sacrificing the rest of your life.
