Home

Hello

I am a true left-brain-right-brain thinker, anchored in the real world with a balance of creativity and analytical realism. I split my working time as a C-level technology executive and strategy professor; I am also an accomplished public speaker. My career passions are leadership, innovation, technology, education, and behavioral economics. From local to international, I am always looking for the next challenge to leverage innovation, grow a company/brand, and increase value.

I received my MBA from Pepperdine University and a Doctor of Business Administration from The University of Manchester (UK). I regularly volunteer my time to help underserved youth learn entrepreneurship.

I live for travel, art/design, food, and learning. My lovely wife and a clowder of cats live in Los Angeles.

Speaking

I’ve been an active public speaker since I was seven years old. In high school and college I competed in speech, finishing 2nd in the nation for extemporaneous speaking (impromptu) at the collegiate level. I currently speak and write regularly on innovation, specifically Innovation Cooking, business strategy, behavioral economics, and entrepreneurship. Please contact me about your speaker needs.
