Navigating the vibrant entrepreneurial landscape, I'm currently leading the growth trajectory of GIVE Kefir Probiotic Brewery, a Cambodia-based enterprise focusing on the surging demand for probiotics. Our business ethos revolves around contributing to health and wellness, with our core product promoting optimal gut health.While we continue to innovate and expand within the exciting realm of probiotics, we're also transcending boundaries through strategic alliances in packaging, marketing, and education. With the power of franchising in our sights, we aim to replicate our successful business model across Southeast Asia, strengthening our brand footprint.Yet, at the heart of it all, it's not just about business growth. It's about creating a tangible, positive impact on people's lives. By helping individuals achieve a healthier and more fulfilling life, we're propelling forward, determined to become the preferred choice for gut health in the region.But my passion for meaningful innovation extends beyond the beverage industry. Drawing upon diverse experiences from managing complex telecommunications sales to leading Marines in combat, I constantly strive to bring versatile, strategic, and compassionate leadership to the table. With a keen interest in technology's transformative potential, especially in AI, I remain committed to fostering impactful connections and experiences in our increasingly interconnected world

FounderGive Kefir Jun 2019 - PresentCambodiaDuring a visit to the temples at Angkor Wat, I found myself deeply impacted by the graciousness and open hospitality of the people in Siem Reap, Cambodia. This encounter sparked a philanthropic endeavor, which eventually evolved into a start-up. Four years on, GIVE Kefir has emerged as the foremost provider of probiotic beverages in Cambodia. Our mission is to highlight the significance of maintaining a healthy gut microbiome for overall wellness. We achieve this by crafting probiotic water kefir products that are not only fresh and delicious but also beautiful and accessible to everyone.

Venturing out from the normal routine of mainland employment is equally rewarding and terrifying. Mana House still exists and is operated by dear friends, who continue to provide one-of-a-kind, memorable experiences, in the idyllic natural beautiful of the Big Island. Nestled just steps away from the Pacific Ocean, Mana House has thrived as an oasis of comfort amidst the lush and dramatic tropical surroundings of the island's Southeast coastline.

CaptainUnited States Marine Corps Aug 1993 - Aug 2005GlobalServing as a Captain in the United States Marine Corps, I find immense joy in training alongside some of the most authentic and gifted young men who have ever committed to serving our country. Traveling the globe with a close-knit 'Band of Brothers', our mission was clear – to safeguard our nation’s sovereignty. In embracing the humbling role of a servant to the United States, we voluntarily set aside our individual lives and aspirations to contribute to a cause much larger than ourselves. The military molds leaders, teaching us that true leadership extends beyond personal accomplishments or charging into battle; it is about relinquishing personal motivations to dedicate oneself to a purpose greater than ourselves.
