Storyteller, social innovator and ecosystem advocate
My life and work sit at the intersection of storytelling, social change, and innovation, driven by a deep reverence for wisdom, an insatiable curiosity, and a steadfast belief that restoring ecosystems can ignite planetary healing.
I often describe myself as an entrepreneurial athlete and a recovering venture capitalist who thrives at the edge of what’s possible. My career has ranged from climate advocacy with Al Gore to uncovering the world’s hidden wonders as part of the founding team at Atlas Obscura, and five years as a venture capitalist focused on deep tech, healthcare, and enterprise software. During that time, I co-founded a surgical computer vision company—until a life-threatening illness reshaped my journey in ways I couldn’t have anticipated.
After an unceremonious exit from Silicon Valley, I embarked on the longest and most transformative healing journey of my life. This chapter led me to become a filmmaker and producer of Seekers (unreleased), a six-episode series that follows everyday people confronting universal challenges and seeking wisdom from some of the world’s greatest living spiritual teachers—from the headwaters of the Ganges to the headwaters of the Amazon.
Since then, I’ve focused on making personal films, supporting diverse clients, and contributing to Coral Vita, where I’ve served as a longtime board member and now as fractional CMO. In this role, I’ve been expanding the brand and creatively directing the development of an immersive coral reef tourism experience in the Bahamas, in collaboration with Experience House alum Damien Madray. Together, we’re advancing ecosystem-scale coral reef restoration, spanning from the Caribbean to the Middle East.
While my life may appear full, I’m currently operating at about 30% capacity, allowing life to guide me toward where my heart and mind are meant to focus in this next chapter.
