About Me
I grew up on Long Island in a blue-collar family that kept things simple: work hard, invest in what matters, and skip the drama. My parents weren't financial wizards, but they knew where to put their money—education was everything. That investment opened doors I didn't even know existed, and I've spent the last two decades making the most of them.
I've built a career leading global teams and growing businesses across the design and manufacturing world. These days, I lead enterprise relationships with Fortune 500 clients across six continents. The work is about more than hitting numbers. It's about building cultures people actually want to be part of and making sure the human side of business doesn't get lost in the spreadsheets.
That's what inspired The Business Buffet, my book about the 15 career skills nobody teaches you but everyone expects you to know. Professional development without the corporate theater (and with better food metaphors).
I've been a VP, GM, and SVP, but I've always seen myself as someone who connects dots, tells stories, and helps people navigate work without losing their humanity in the process.
Outside the office, I chase shots with my camera, write songs, and serve as board chair for Global Nomads — a nonprofit that keeps me grounded in what actually matters. Music and photography keep me curious.
I live with my awesome wife, our teenage son (who's already lapping me in most areas of life), and our Labradoodle, who has never once respected a conference call when the mailman shows up. They're my reset button and daily reminder to stay grateful, stay humble, and not take any of this too seriously.
At the end of the day, I'm just trying to do meaningful work with good people, tell a few decent stories along the way, and enjoy the ride.
