Architect of Experience

My Professional Journey

With over 26 years in the trenches of product creation, management, and design, I've honed a keen eye for developing solutions that are not only functional and visually compelling but truly resonate with users. From intricate websites and intuitive mobile apps to innovative physical products, I've had the privilege of conceptualizing and helping develop countless creations that likely touch your daily life.

My approach is rooted in understanding user needs and translating complex ideas into elegant, effective realities that drive engagement and success. I thrive on connecting diverse ideas, building communities, and ensuring every endeavor leaves a lasting, positive mark.

Entrepreneurial Ventures

My drive to build and innovate extends into dynamic entrepreneurial ventures. As the vision behind Qualeto, I lead a vibrant press and publishing company dedicated to the tabletop gaming industry — bringing immersive worlds like RPGAnywhere and engaging board games to life, fostering new adventures and communities.

Qualeto also houses distinct clothing brands, showcasing a different facet of creative expression. It's a true blend of imagination, play, and style under one creative roof.

Passions & Philosophy

Beyond the professional realm, two core passions truly define me: the boundless world of tabletop gaming and a deep commitment to philanthropy. As a lifelong gamer, I believe in the power of shared stories and imaginative play to bring people together, challenge minds, and spark joy. This passion fuels every game I develop.

My philanthropic efforts are equally central, driven by the belief that success should ripple outwards to create positive change. This includes past clothing endeavors dedicated to donating 100% of profits to charity, alongside ongoing contributions through the Quartermaster Foundation.

I've always believed that life's most profound lessons are found when pushing boundaries and embracing challenges. My approach is to live authentically, explore endlessly, and find joy in the process — a philosophy that informs every project and partnership I undertake.

My Journey

In October 2025, my life changed overnight. What began as severe abdominal pain led to emergency surgery — and I woke up with an ileostomy, a Stage 4 diagnosis of Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma (SRCC), and a completely different future. In less than 100 hours, I had been drafted into the hardest fight of my life.

What followed was an intense masterclass in medical survival — months of aggressive chemotherapy, major surgeries, and the profound lifestyle shift of managing life with an ileostomy. I emerged from treatment in February 2026. Surviving the disease, it turned out, was only half the battle. The hidden costs, the logistical chaos, the "shadow budget" that insurance never covers — those don't stop when the chemo does.

That firsthand experience crystallized into purpose. I had spent my life building bridges — with Habitat for Humanity, through workforce programs, across communities in need. This was one more bridge to build, and arguably the most important one. That's why I founded the Quartermaster Foundation: to ensure no one facing a life-altering diagnosis has to navigate the hidden costs of treatment alone.
