I build things that move.
Companies. Systems. Products. Experiences. A life I actually want to live.

01 / About
NOT A NICHE.
A THROUGH-LINE.
I’ve spent more than two decades making things work in the real world — on job sites, behind DJ decks, inside businesses, and now deep in software and AI.
The through-line is simple: find friction, learn the system, build a better version. I’m less interested in fitting one title than in becoming dangerous across disciplines.
At 40, I’m not starting over. I’m finally combining everything I’ve learned.
