Building cooperative futures through innovation, systems thinking, and community.

"Unusual perspectives are my oxygen, and my curiosity drives me to breathe deeply."

I'm an entrepreneur fascinated by the intersection of innovation, systems thinking, and community engagement to create meaningful, scalable change. As co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer across multiple ventures, I work at the nexus of cooperative economics, impact technology, and community-driven development.

From building multi-stakeholder cooperatives to launching B-Corps and nonprofit foundations, my work is about designing systems that lift communities, empower entrepreneurs, and prove that business can be a force for collective good. Based in Austin, TX, I'm building an ecosystem where collaboration isn't just a value — it's the operating model.
