Meditation
I spent time as a Buddhist monk in Thailand. Stillness is not passive; it is how I make space to see people and complex systems clearly.
I've been many things: a son, a seeker, a case manager, and a program designer. Underneath it all, I've always been searching for transformation.
I come to this work not as an outsider, but as someone who has lived at the edge of the safety nets I now help build. My path has been about holding that truth while creating spaces where others can step into stability, hope, and home.
The career part of me has managed programs, written guides, trained teams, launched technology, and overseen budgets with more zeroes than I ever imagined. The human part of me knows those numbers only matter when they open doors and make room for dignity.
I design housing and health programs that do not put up barriers. I translate policy into workflows, bring teams into alignment, and build systems that meet people where they are.
My philosophy is simple: human first, system second.

A field note from the places, people, and movement that keep me curious.















I spent time as a Buddhist monk in Thailand. Stillness is not passive; it is how I make space to see people and complex systems clearly.
Team sports taught me about roles, rhythm, and why a well-timed assist can matter as much as the score.
I have driven coast to coast more than once. Movement, new landscapes, and the occasional northern-lights chase keep me curious.
I am values-driven, collaborative, and drawn to work that turns a complicated system into a path people can actually use.
