Creator. Explorer. Storyteller. Technologist. Father. Human.

I’ve lived a full life so far.

I grew up in a small town in the middle of a national forest in Pennsylvania—one blinking stoplight, endless trees, and mountains that seemed to hold the rest of the world just out of reach.

I’ve felt earthquakes in both Bangkok and California. I’ve been trapped by riots in Hong Kong. I moved through the early days of the pandemic while literally traveling around the world, the fear and uncertainty woven into each step. At my first job as a teenager, I was electrocuted—an accident that almost killed me. Something I never told anyone until now.

Travel has taken me through 24 countries, often drawn to forgotten corners and unfamiliar light. Sometimes seeking escape. Sometimes meaning. Sometimes just stillness.

I’ve known magic. And I’ve known heartbreak.

I lost my wife to addiction—someone I loved deeply. I’ve also known betrayal, in ways that still echo through my life. And still, I remain open. Still, I create. Still, I believe in connection—in the quiet possibility that people can surprise you in beautiful ways.

I’ve built businesses, led teams, and designed experiences. Composed soundtracks for well-known games, often burning the midnight oil and leaving parts of myself behind in the process. Photography has become my way of holding onto the silence between moments—the soft light, the spaces where something eternal feels close.

Today, I lead a team at the intersection of emerging technology and human experience. But the most important role came unexpectedly: being a father. My daughter arrived later in my life and changed everything. She keeps me grounded. She reminds me what truly matters.

I don’t need much. Friends. Family. Good people. A camera. A few beautiful things. Time to wander. Travel—whether to far-off places or overlooked corners close to home.

As long as it’s new. As long as it reminds me that I’m alive.
