Curious by default.
A builder by instinct.
I'm a builder, connector, and translator. I've spent my career working across organizations, ideas, people, and places—usually when something new is trying to emerge.
My work has moved between large organizations, startups, and growing businesses, often at moments when something needs to be built, clarified, connected, or changed.
These days, I work with Innovate Carolina and The Junction at UNC–Chapel Hill, helping bring people, ideas, and opportunities together.
I'm particularly interested in the importance of place and human connection in the age of AI. As technology makes it easier to build and work from almost anywhere, the relationships and unexpected encounters that happen somewhere feel more important, not less.
I also build silly things with AI. Some are useful. Some aren't. I think that's part of the fun.
People and communities that make room for learning, generosity, and connection.
