My mission is to use technology and training to help people learn, feel safe, and do their best work.

I grew up boxed into a rigid education system that forced early specialization, which led me to a liberal arts college in Maine—where exploring the Global Financial Crisis alongside peers from around the world reshaped my thinking. Since then, I’ve worked to expand access to transformative learning and technology—leading a UK STEM university, advising U.S. college presidents, and building advanced technical training for companies like GE.

Now based in Boston with my wife, Selamile, I’m focused on acquiring and growing a mission-driven company—where I can apply a decade of global experience and networks to build something enduring.

Open to advising the next gen?

I’d sincerely love to learn from you regardless of whether you’re open to selling your business. Sage captures my belief in learning wisdom from successful leaders, and Blacksmith captures my leadership ethos in helping others fulfill their potential. 

Industry experts I’ve spoken to have likely shared raw commentary on trends and concerns not published in reports or conferences. CEOs have found value in engaging thoughtful questions about industry trends.
