Strategy that ships
I lead teams that turn AI and data into operating systems, growth decisions, and measurable outcomes—not decks that end at the boardroom.
About me
Builder.
Dad. Explorer.
I’m a Data & AI leader who likes hard problems, working alongside a sharp team, and making the abstract tangible. Outside work, I build personal tools, chase new experiences, and test nearly everything on my family.
“Make a stranger laugh every day.”
The home teamJeannie, Dean, Ruby, and me
Useful side quests
Family tools, event intelligence, data rabbit holes, and creative experiments. The point is not novelty; it is learning by making something real.
All-in on people
Husband to Jeannie, dad to Dean and Ruby, born in Moldova, raised in New Jersey, and rooted in Atlanta.
Core values
Family & security
Build a life where the people I love feel supported, protected, and fully part of the adventure.
Joy, awe & adventure
Seek experiences big enough to reset my sense of what is possible—and laugh often along the way.
Growth & curiosity
Keep learning in public, follow the interesting thread, and stay willing to be a beginner.
Physical vitality
Use hard physical things to stay grounded, resilient, and awake to the world.
Resilience
Turn difficult chapters into useful information, then keep moving with more self-awareness.
Contribution
Leave people, teams, and systems more capable than I found them.
Bucket list
A life backlog should feel more like a launchpad than a checklist.
