Out and About
A Short CV
We're building something great based on lived and professional experiences.
My Background
After years of shaping ideas and industries on the East Coast—between DC’s fast-paced policy world and Baltimore’s rich cultural landscape—I returned to California to carve my path in the private sector. San Diego quickly became more than just a home; it’s where I built my life, vision, and family. My wife and our three amazing children keep every day filled with adventure, curiosity, and purpose.
My Passion and Pleasures
Entrepreneurship is in my DNA, and I thrive on turning ideas into reality. But when I step away from work, I immerse myself in the thrill of competition—analyzing Horse Racing data, catching every NFL game, and following the precision of Formula 1 and the raw energy of Supercross. When the sun is shining (which, thankfully, it often is in California), you’ll find me with my family—exploring trails, soaking up the ocean breeze, or reconnecting with friends and loved ones over great conversation and much-needed self-care.
My Favorite Things
Home improvement projects fuel my love for problem-solving, while books open doors to new ideas and perspectives. Beyond that, my greatest joy is collaborating with forward-thinkers to tackle San Diego’s challenges—and even bigger, the world’s pressing issues. I believe that through creativity, strategy, and bold action, change is always within reach.
