Who I am

After taking eight mainstream credible personality tests over a decade, I have been consistently described as a "shaper". I habitually visualize ambitious objectives, set plans, and push through (while inspiring others to join) until they are fulfilled. You can likely relate to this, which means we can overcome obstacles together in our complementary roles on your team. The market need not understand our vision yet, because we will have them adopt it over time.

My core cause

To be clear, unity is not uniformity. The former includes diversity, while the latter excludes diversity. Only one works well.

In a world with increasing division, my cause reveals itself to help reorient people towards uniting for good.

Unity

A growth journey

Gaining a global view

My life has fused "hard knocks" and academic exploration. Beginning at the spirited age of 6, I sold candy door-to-door. By age 18, I sold coupon books, magazines, and fine cutlery. Never was there a dull moment when doors were shut in my face. Yet, I persevered and improved. Anything I was given, I consistently sold more of than any teammate, music colleague, or schoolmate.

Learning to work

Working to learn

Good fortune has been on my side when I pay attention to details. With the ability to sell, I transitioned into marketing. I still focused on selling, but now had a computer screen in front of me in lieu of a door. With gusto, I learned the ins-and-outs of marketing, advertising, and ancillary topics such as design.

My start was in Silicon Valley when I entered this world in July, 1991. During childhood, my parents exposed me to the world and its culture. By 20 years old, I had toured and lived on 4 continents with people of every conceivable lifestyle. For years, I was known as the quiet ambitious guy who was a unique mix of athlete and academic.

I have always been driven by intellectual exploration. It has manifested through a wide array of passions, pursuits, and projects that are sometimes initially disconnected yet eventually unite on an even greater common cause.

I catalyze results by basing effort on bold intent that adheres to my principles while rapidly researching what leads to methods that leapfrog trivial tasks. This helps me learn new markets fast and lead using coherency in cultures needing it. Every day is a chance to clarify what compels and aim for this message to spark more momentum.

Upleveling daily

My inspirations

My sources of inspiration come from proficient professionals like you. For a decade (and counting), I have been systematically learning daily from thousands of professionals across dozens of disciplines to understand human motives and how to become our best selves by leveraging it. I extract their insights and integrate them into my broader systems of thinking which I select from and offer as tailored services for your team.
