I work at the intersection of sports, media, entertainment, and capital, where I help structure, invest in, and build platforms that shape how people gather and engage with culture. My professional work spans institutional investing, deal structuring, and operating partnerships across live and experiential industries. At the Center is where I step back from transactions to examine the deeper systems, structures, and patterns of meaning that shape why institutions matter and endure. I write from within these systems, examining how attention is organized and what it forms in us.
