Founder & CEO @ Soulmatch

About

I build ventures where human connection, AI, storytelling, and design come together. I focus on creating products and experiences that people genuinely feel connected to. I’m the Founder of Soulmatch, ZenXData, BayFund, and Gofrend, and Co‑founder & Executive Producer at Cineverse Pictures. My work spans matchmaking, AI, investing, community, and film, with a consistent goal: turning ideas into things that meaningfully impact people’s lives. I’m also the only string artist in the USA creating hyper‑realistic portraits with thread, a craft that keeps me close to detail, patience, and emotion. That same mindset guides how I build products, lead teams, and shape brands. I combine product thinking, human insight, and design‑led innovation to build solutions people trust, remember, and feel. If you’re exploring new ways to connect people through technology, creativity, or capital, I’d love to connect
