Artificial Intelligence is the biggest technology disruption of our generation. I help companies envision their future and leverage this technology to stay ahead of the competition. I look at how AI can impact key aspects of the business such as acquiring and retaining customers, customizing products and services, and achieving profitability. I then work with companies to develop the right solution which, at times, can fundamentally re-shape how the business operates. My experience includes working in the Financial, Media and Transportation sectors, and using technologies such as IBM Watson, Microsoft Azure, Google Tensorflow, H2O.ai and Intel. If you are looking to adopt AI and are looking towards the future, I can help.

My great passion is to bring programs to life and activate relationships that support the exceptional few who aspire to change the world by building a massive company from scratch. As Managing Director of Endeavor Canada, I connect growth-stage entrepreneurs with resources, mentorship, and networks to scale their businesses and transform their communities. Prior to Endeavor, I spent a decade scaling the Creative Destruction Lab into one of the world's largest startup support organizations. Across multiple leadership roles, I helped expand CDL from a single office to 12 offices in six countries, admitting 650 startups annually. In 2021, I completed a PhD in Strategic Management at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management. In my dissertation, I developed a novel method for quantifying the causal impact of innovation prizes like the XPRIZE and DARPA Grand Challenges. In 2013, I completed a Master of Arts in Higher Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. My master's thesis explored the rise and fall of the University of Toronto's Innovations Foundation from 1980 to 2006.

I am an independent candidate for president of the United States, running under the banner of Day 2024. My mission is to expose and oppose the existential threat of a one world government technocracy, which is based on a digital, programmable, and censorable form of money called Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). With over 30 years of experience as a founder and CEO of multiple innovative startuls and liberry activist organizations, I have the skills and vision to lead the country in a time of crisis and uncertainty. I am passionate about building stuff that improves people's lives, whether it is in the fields of healthcare, wellness, or social networking. I am also a best-selling author and a mentor to aspiring entrepreneurs. I believe that voting won't fix this, boycotts will. The way to halt CBDC, stop WW3, and end the Fed is to join me in fighting for freedom from digital tyranny.
