Led press & media strategy — alongside viral digital marketing, celebrity partnerships, and the successful launch of the "GOOD PILLOW" — which was acquired by Pillow Fight. Under my leadership, the #GoodPillow became "one of the most read about consumer stories of 2021" ~ PRWeek and was named the #1 pillow by Rolling Stone Magazine, alongside countless celebrity & influencer endorsements.

Sole investor, co-founder, and CEO of the famous "#GoodPillow" — named the top talked about consumer brand of the year by PRWeek & rated the best pillow of the year by Rolling Stone Magazine… I started the business with the March For Our Lives co-founder, David Hogg. GoodPillow is a "for purpose" business, with a focus on bringing manufacturing back to America and re-investing proceeds into various charitable groups aligned with our mission. In 2022, GoodPillow was acquired by Pillow-Fight, and the two companies merged operations.

Served as the public "CEO" / face of IQ.wiki's prediction marketplace, PredIQt (a product developed in IQ.wiki's internal product labs). My primary day-to-day roles for PredIQt included influencer marketing, public relations, market creation/structuring/management, product management, and full-stack engineering.In addition as serving as the public face of IQ.wiki's prediction platform, I also was the lead developer for PredIQt's underlying tech — which was used as a foundation for what would later become FRAX… a stablecoin with a fully diluted market cap currently in excess of $1 billion. The team of engineers I managed was fully remote, and I reported directly to the CEO.
