Curiosity as a practice.

I grew up in Palm Desert, California, a small desert town in the Coachella Valley. I've called San Francisco home since 2015. Somewhere along the way I picked up a meditation and mindfulness practice that, over the years, has quietly expanded how I see everything. It's filled me with a sense of wonder for the world and a deep curiosity about what it means to live well: a life that's dynamic, balanced, authentic, and full of joy.

I keep finding myself where emerging technology meets the real world before the playbook exists. Three startups at the seed stage, one to acquisition, one whose AI team became a billion-dollar company, and one I've helped scale into the fastest-growing hotel tech company ever. In between: an MBA at Wharton and a podcast on autonomous vehicles. The thread through all of it is the same. I like being early to things, figuring out how to make them work, and building alongside people I believe in.

Outside of all that, the things that fill me up most are cooking for people I love, good music, and exploring new corners of the world.
