I currently serve as the Chief Creative Officer at Uncubed, a platform that connects folks to the digital world. We have an educational platform called Edge and supporting community resources like Wakefield, our daily email and a variety of interactive conferences and events. I've spent most of my professional life working on technologies and content to help folks better connect to careers. Wasn't particularly intentional, but I saw a need and that's where I landed. Now that I work so closely with next gen companies, I couldn't be more excited to be in this space. Before Uncubed, I launched a t-shirt company (Dishonestees), developed a platform for higher-education (MyWorkster) and a referral technology (Referio). I live in Brooklyn with my wife and daughter. I have an unhealthy obsession with soccer, having created NYC Footy, an adult soccer league and committed fan of Liverpool Football Club. I also serve as an advisor to the United Kingdom Trade and Investment Organisation, Enstitute and my alma mater, The University of Virginia.
