About Me

I'm a passionate, creative problem-solver who thinks outside the box to empower teams and enrich lives. Though my path hasn't always been straightforward, the journey has given me resilience, adaptability, and a drive to create positive change.

Growing up, I struggled to embrace my authentic self in the face of expectations. Now I'm living my truth as a transgender man and have found alignment, confidence, and joy. My diverse personal and professional background spanning IT, art, events, education, and more allows me to connect with people from all walks of life. I'm fueled by collaborating across disciplines to make a difference.

​

As a leader, I develop strong relationships and motivate others towards a shared vision. I mentored youth in parks and rec, led projects internationally, and unified developers to hit major game milestones. My upbeat attitude and patience ease stress during challenges.

 

I'm an innovative problem-solver – whether launching programs supporting families, driving the adoption of new tech, or finding creative solutions to production bottlenecks. At First Contact, I designed and implemented an automated localization process that improved localization from 12% to 99%, designed VR park experiences from the ground up, and enrolled record turnout in community programs.

​

I have also demonstrated resilience by surviving cancer at 19 and later at 28 undergoing eight eye surgeries in one year due to a recurrent retinal detachment. I never once lost sight of the light at the end of the tunnel. These experiences taught me to stay positive even in difficult circumstances and keep moving forward but to also give yourself and others grace when facing challenges.

​

Though my path has taken unexpected turns, each experience has expanded my empathy and skillset. I now bring a unique blend of logic and imagination to every project. I'm excited to join a values-driven team where I can create positive change as my authentic self.
