OPERATOR · BUILDER · ADVISOR

I build the operational backbone founders need to grow: fast, disciplined, and built to last.

A cross-functional operator who uses AI to automate and improve every part of the business: finance, accounting, HR, contracts, partnerships, customer success, and risk, across the US, Asia, and Europe.

OPERATING PHILOSOPHY

A business isn't a set of departments. It's one system.

Finance, accounting, people, contracts, partnerships, and customer success rarely break on their own. They break at the handoffs between them. I step into whatever the business needs most, use AI to automate the busywork and surface what to fix next, and carry governance through every function as the thread that keeps it accountable.

What keeps me grounded

Away from work, you'll usually find me around food, sports, or meeting new people. The same habits that make a good operator apply here too: curiosity, steady routines, and showing up consistently.

Family
I protect time for my family and love exploring the world with them.
Food & Farmers Markets
Find me at the Ferry Building farmers market and enjoying fresh, local food.
Investing & Mentoring
A student of macroeconomics and world news who invests for long-term financial freedom and helps young people get an early start on saving for retirement.
Coaching
Volunteer youth soccer coach. Teamwork is taught, not assumed.
