i've been u.s. growth lead at seedlegals, and the founder of ilias events, creator week, tcc entertainment, and tapped ai.

with over 200k+ followers across social media and recognition as one of otsny's "top 100 must-watch" entrepreneurs, i've found my place at the intersection of tech, media, and entertainment.

i've hosted, booked, and produced 600+ events across d.c., la, and nyc, spanning industries from tech and fashion to music and film. my partnerships include nfl super bowl weekend, ny fashion week, bitcoin miami, dmv revamped festival with pusha t, the white house, and h.wood hospitality.

i've authored cheat codes, a blueprint for creators and entrepreneurs to grow personal brands.

through tcc entertainment, i drove 1.5B total views, acquired shark media, and managed 300+ influencers for brands like warner music, home depot, and monster energy.

after exiting la, i bootstrapped a new venture building the world's first ai record label. when funds dried up, my co-founder and i moved to austin and joined the antler accelerator.

there, we pivoted the product into tapped ai, launching with a viral april fool's prank that claimed we sold for $28m on launch day. the joke worked — drawing over 400k+ views, 300+ investor inquiries, and led to $100k in funding and 12,000 users, all with zero marketing spend.

that wave of attention was bittersweet as it also resulted in meta and tiktok banning all tcc entertainment accounts, forcing me to rebuild from scratch. i relocated to nyc permanently and reinvented myself as a leading event curator and connector in the city's growing tech and creator space.

i now advise companies like blockconvey and was head of growth at swifey ai, helping raise $1m+ in funding and drive innovation in decentralized data and ai matchmaking. currently, i'm chief marketing officer at cliqk, a one-click marketing platform that launches your brand everywhere at once. press one button and it generates social content, ugc briefs, press runs, and newsletter placements.

during nyc tech week, i hosted 8 events in 7 days, including a partnership with jp morgan, a penthouse party for top vcs, a yacht party with tavern, and now curating events in collaboration with harvard, yale, oxford, and cambridge.
