Ever since I was a kid, it’s been my dream to be in inventor. My most cherished moments are when I've been able to create ways that that reflect my deepest passions – whether the mediums range from art, to science, to collaborative communities, or to business opportunities. It brings me joy to connect with and learn from people who are positively impacting the world. I’m particularly enthusiastic about approaches involving startup companies, emerging technologies, and artistic ventures. As someone who has had dark moments in my life, I have a deeply empathetic drive to help others foster their ‘spark’ that gets that drives them towards a brighter future. I’m extremely confident that I can bring long-lasting value to any endeavor or person that I become involved with and am always happy to discuss ideas. Outside of AEMS Corp (my 'day job'), I'm actively building an creativity-related business and am involved with a few other ventures at a primordial stage. More recently, I've become fascinated with marketing and brand identity. Outside of the business world, I'm an artist, marathoner, creative writer, dungeons & dragons game master, and community builder. I'm currently writing my first fantasy/sci novel, and plan to publish within the next 1-2 years. I also developed and practice a novel style of painting, likely under the expressionist category.
