ABOUT

I build things that operate in the real world.

Over the past 15+ years I’ve worked across international food exports, retail installations, trade shows, hospitality, live commerce, and product development — launching markets in Asia, producing global events, installing multi-state retail programs, and building operational systems from scratch.

I’m comfortable in strategy — but stronger in execution.

SELECTED EXPERIENCE & RESULTS

• Opened the Japanese and Korean markets for SuKarne (Viz Cattle Corp.), contributing to a 90% sales increase in those regions.
• Produced and executed 100+ international trade shows across Japan, Korea, Russia, Canada and the U.S.
