I am an Entrepreneur, Father, and Cancer Patient. Most recently I founded The Holodeck, a Mixed Reality Innovation Center. Through these centers, the general public can come and experience tomorrow's entertainment technologies in a world-class environment. Like Walt Disney, I am passionate about creating an atmosphere far beyond a typical, dirty, arcade. I also manage a team of in-house developers who work to create Virtual and Augmented software and games for several industries.I've travelled the country as a Trapeze Artist and Fire Eater, eventually doing professional magic and opening a computer repair shop in Kentucky. It was there in Kentucky I first learned about the rare cancer I had growing just beneath my skull. While battling this disease I’ve also owned a Hibachi Steakhouse, opened a video game lounge in FL, and started a software development company, amongst also spending a ton of time in Epcot (Disney World) and studying material from the Disney Institute.Over the last 2 years, my battle with cancer has intensified, causing me to wonder what I would leave behind should I ever have the misfortune of no longer being around. And so, after just one month of my newborn son coming into the world, I took the greatest concept I believe I ever experimented with, my video game lounge, and combined it with two of my favorite things, Star Trek and Disney, to create the ultimate forward-thinking place for gamers to feel welcome and part of something unique; The Holodeck. On July 1, 2017, my son Travis turned 1 month and my legacy was born in Stamford CT with Center #1. We are now growing nationwide and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
