The homegrown community for Hudson Valley professionals, creators, and businesses.

Owner of Rising Earth Building, an ecological construction firm based in Troy, NY.

I work with entrepreneurs who want to create a positive impact on their team and community.

I work in tech with a big focus on generative AI business strategy. I am also a big music nerd and have been a hiking/wilderness guide in the Catskills and Adirondacks for over 10 years.

The way I walk, talk, move and breathe is my expression. I believe in living in possibility. I work selfishly to expand my own definition of self till I can act selfishly and towards the good of the universe simultaneously knowing they are one in the same.
