Summary

I have a deep appreciation for the intersection of technology, creativity and the human experience, where the lines between the three blur into a symbiotic relationship. My work spans marketing, community development, strategic partnerships, and large language models, helping companies thrive across industries like telecom, fintech, blockchain, telemedicine, entertainment, and startups. Since 2019, I’ve actively worked with and implemented large language models, staying ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Currently, I serve as the Senior Vice President of Partnerships at Remixed, a full-service branding and integrated marketing agency. At Remixed, we specialize in helping brands of all sizes—from startups to Fortune 100 companies—create cohesive and dynamic brand identities across a range of media, including digital, print, and broadcast. Our work combines storytelling, design, and strategy to ensure brands resonate with their audiences in meaningful ways, whether through AI, web, digital, social media or traditional advertising. As the former Chief Evangelist at Cisco/Tropo, I led marketing, PR, developer outreach, and community development. I founded of Geeks Without Bounds, an accelerator for humanitarian tech projects, and co-founded of Factur Makerspace in Orlando. My earlier ventures include co-founding Voxeo, where I helped secure $35 million in venture funding and built a thriving developer community. Outside the tech world, my passion for music and storytelling shines through. I can often be found dueling pianos at venues like Howl at the Moon or producing indie films like The Karaoke King (2007). My drive to understand how technology shapes reality, perception, and creativity informs everything I do, from content creation to strategic leadership. As a dual citizen of the US and Ireland, I embrace global perspectives and thrive on exploring the intersections of innovation, music, and the human experience.
