About

Helping early- and growth-stage health tech companies build solutions for preventative care and restoration of function.

I’ve worked across consumer neurotech, metabolic wellness, and medical diagnostics — bringing rigor from the elite sports world into healthcare. My work spans everything from harmonizing 300M+ healthcare records to building brain-computer interface demos for investors.

I spend the rest of my time playing sports, biking, reading, and exploring new places.
