Welcome to my website!

Professional

Today, I serve as the Strategic Director and Principal Advisor for several private companies. I previously served as CEO of Fiddlesticks Wood Products, a manufacturer of cooking and fuelwood products, where I engineered and orchestrated the vertical integration of functions into divisions, entities, and partners.

My experience spans diverse industries and roles. A natural curiosity drives me to analyze complex problems and deliver solutions through collaboration. From factory floor to balance sheet, I value strategy, integration, and outcomes. Check out my CV if you want to know more →

Philosophy

I believe the ultimate purpose of life is to become a better being. Life is hard—and we’re built to overcome. Cultivating myself is about stewardship and empathy. I strive to contribute to a more enlightened world, not just contemplate one.

Personal development demands honesty about limitations, failures, and vanities. I believe in truth, discipline, and growth. Virtue is demanding—integrity even more so. My aim is to be fruitful, subdue myself, and produce something worthwhile.
