Currently focused on building Rylo, the most personal and intelligent fashion shopping app. I excel as a generalist in high-growth startups and high-autonomy roles, working cross-functionally across marketing, gtm, and business operations.
More interests: poker (I host in sf to meet young & ambitious builders!), chess, philosophy, and aerospace.

My Story
2019: Started first business reselling shoes at 12 with $180, learned about sneaker botting, multi 6 fig revenue at 13, 6 figures in profit by 14.
2021: Started Kick Vault, an invite only marketplace connecting secondary market retail stores and bulk streetwear sellers. Think bulk California StockX. Scaled to -680k GMV in 3 months, started expanding team to east coast.
2022: Started organic social marketing agency for consumer tech & gaming cos. 5 figures MRR in 3 months cold at 16. Worked with companies like Crypto .com, WeMod, Involve, Pocket Whale, and others.
2023: Became obsessed with shopping UX. Started new agency http://expocord.com doing cro & data analytics for dtc brands. Targeted 5-20M ARR brands in fashion & worked with execs from Culture Kings, Lulus, Abercrombie on launching a new line. 5+ fig MRR, global team of 4.
2024: Graduated high school early at 17, winded down agency and referred clients, moved to San Francisco alone the day I turned 18 to start a fintech startup called Lop.
Began raising pre-seed in Palo Alto & SF, got angel commits from incredible backers, but ultimately ran into legal barriers around the idea's concept after consulting working with not great lawyers. Decided to halt.
2025: Have since been consulting and crushing across marketing, growth, & gtm ops half time for some incredible seed - series c tech startups in SF (Robotics, Consumer AI, B2B SaaS). The other half of my time has been allocated into becoming deeply technical and understanding the intricacies of generative ai (context, multimodal).
