Helping people be their best selves

I'm passionate about mindfulness and its potential to transform nearly everything. My specific focus is using mindfulness, emerging knowledge from neuroscience, game theory and technology (VR and social networks) to combat addiction and to aid those who are in our criminal justice system. I'm a student of the wisdom traditions. Into creating sustainable solutions & long term thinking. Criminal Justice Reform. Flourishing...Optimizing....Truth....Beauty. Love to longboard with my son's. Collect old IH Scouts and cool convertibles.

I’m passionate about restoring what the world has stolen—especially from those society overlooks. I believe in the unshakable resilience of people who’ve survived tragedy and injustice. My life’s mission is to build systems that honor their experiences, activate their genius, and amplify their voices in the global conversation. Whether I’m designing AI Genies that help elders write their life stories or building portals that reconnect the homeless with their mental stability, my passion is to bridge pain and innovation, so people don’t just survive, they rise.
