I’m a Long Island native, raised in the ‘80s just outside New York City, where the glow of Apple’s first computers hooked me early. Those boxy Macs sparked a lifelong love for tech—clean design, minimalism, and that smooth feel still drive my daily grind.

A proud SUNY Farmingdale grad, I’ve got a soft spot for the campus’s Teaching Gardens, where I try to visit as much as I can.

By day, I’m a project manager and portfolio manager, channeling that same passion for efficiency and smart design into leading teams, delivering complex initiatives, and overseeing investment strategies in the tech and finance space.

Now settled just outside Charlotte, NC, I’ve traded Long Island’s bustle for open trails and quiet sunrises. My iMac and MacBook are my go-to tools, whether I’m tinkering with apps, keeping up on X, or sharing moments like those sakura blooms. Life’s about the simple wins: a solid bike ride, a symphony that hits deep, or the fleeting beauty of spring.

I stay sharp with crypto and tech trends—especially where they intersect with portfolio strategy—and love a good trip—near or far—for a fresh perspective.

Still up for meeting someone to share the journey—someone who’s up for big dreams, small moments, and maybe even my rants about the latest macOS update. This blog is where I muse on nature, tech, and the road ahead. From Long Island to the South, I’m chasing what matters. Thanks for stopping by—let’s find some common ground.
