About

Hospitality operator,
AI systems builder.

I run events, marketing and operations across a 13-concept waterfront campus in Seattle that runs on Toast, coordinating 20 decision makers and more than 40 staff. The AI products and agentic workflows I build for those venues are in production today: menu onboarding, sales-mix and cost reporting, email triage, and a guest feedback and loyalty platform that is launching now.

My best work solves problems that cut across several parts of the business: I research the options, pick the best one, plan it, ship it, and make decisions quickly on sound research. Eighteen years across brand, product and live production came first, and they shape how I think about adoption: a system only counts once the team actually uses it.

approach 01

Systems over one-offs

Whether it's a broadcast rig, an event ops playbook, or an AI workflow — I build the repeatable machine, not just the deliverable.

approach 02

Humans stay in the loop

Sensitive email routes to a person, loyalty points wait for a verified review, and agent activity is monitored. Adoption follows trust, so every system I ship is built to earn it.

approach 03

Bridge roles are the job

Business, art, tech, strategy, community. The value is in connecting them — leading teams that speak all five languages.
