About

Why Me

Short Bio

I build products and communities at the intersection of immersive tech, fitness, and AI. I'm the founder of XRWorkout, a VR exercise game that's currently breaking even and expanding from consumer workouts toward pilots with fitness chains and employers. I've demoed XRWorkout for ~20 attendees at Goldman Sachs' Miami office and used that session to explore a broader wellness program for remote teams. I've presented with Stanford's Dr. Walter Greenleaf at a bio-conference and at the Augmented World Expo. I also lead the Playa AI Initiative at Burning Man, organizing a council and donor support to fund AI art and human-connection work.

Identity Moat

I build products and movements where AI, immersive tech, and human behavior actually meet. I'm a founder-operator in immersive fitness (with real execution constraints and iteration cycles), and I pair that with a fundraiser's ability to structure trust—tiers, narratives, and credibility pathways—without slipping into hype.

I can orchestrate unlikely coalitions: engineers shipping frontier capabilities, artists creating culture, and institutions looking for outcomes (from pilots to programs). I move fast because I convert conversations into artifacts—surveys, decks, frameworks, action plans—so stakeholders can commit with clarity.

I'm not here for performative "transformation," transactional intros, or one-off stunts; I design repeatable flywheels that compound: community → proof → partnerships → capital → better product → stronger community.


Case Studies

What I've Built

Product

Controller-Free XR Fitness Platform

The Stakes: The market for immersive fitness is crowded with novelty—but enterprises and serious partners only lean in when the tech is defensible and the experience is repeatable.

The Approach:

  • Anchored in "TikTok of Movement" thesis—fast onboarding, continuous variety, habit loops
  • Reduced friction with controller-free workouts
  • Positioned as intersection of fitness, immersive computing, AI, and biometrics
  • Maintained break-even while building toward growth

Results: Break-even operations, clear platform positioning for enterprise conversations

Key Lesson: Frictionless interaction is strategy, not UX polish.

Enterprise

Goldman Sachs Demo to Pilot Narrative

The Stakes: Enterprise adoption doesn't start with a contract—it starts with a room that feels something and believes you can deliver.

The Approach:

  • Ran targeted live demo for ~20 attendees at Goldman Sachs Miami office
  • Designed for emotional resonance + brand fit
  • Built strategic survey to capture feedback and pilot signals
  • Extended survey to wider Goldman community for internal momentum
  • Positioned next step: pilot wellness program for distributed teams

Results: Demo delivered, enterprise follow-up mechanism created, pilot pathway established

Key Lesson: Demos are content—capture them like a campaign asset.

Ecosystem

Playa AI Initiative: Cultural Platform Building

The Stakes: To build a credible initiative at the intersection of AI and human potential—inside a culture with strong norms—you need legitimacy, governance, and a story that can attract serious supporters without feeling extractive.

The Approach:

  • Defined platform: Playa AI as lens on co-evolution of AI and human potential through art
  • Designed participation mechanics: installation in Center Camp for AI-using artists
  • Built coalition: securing buy-in from Eric Schmidt, Sam Altman before public name usage
  • Orchestrated cross-camp council formation
  • Developed donor/funder tier structures

Results: Platform concept defined, coalition strategy formed, governance structure established

Key Lesson: Cultural systems need governance as much as they need vision.

Technical

Quest 3 Camera Access & Object Detection

The Stakes: In immersive tech, "we can" is cheap; "we already did" changes the room.

The Approach:

  • CTO pioneered camera access on Quest 3
  • Implemented object detection for usable product primitives
  • Treated as infrastructure for repeatable product loops
  • Used as credibility proof point for partners

Results: Technical milestones delivered, partner-facing credibility strengthened

Key Lesson: Frontier capability must be converted into primitives, then loops.


Speaking

Keynotes & Workshops

AI x Human Performance

From Noisy Brains to Daily Insight

Promise: Build an "insight engine" that turns bio/brain data into behavior—without drowning users in dashboards.

Audience gets:

  • Practical model for signal → insight → action loops
  • How higher-quality sensing changes possible interventions
  • Framework for shipping "clarity moments" at scale

Best for: healthtech founders, performance coaches, wearable/BCI teams, behavior-change product leaders

Immersive Tech x Behavior Change

From Demo to Pilot

Promise: Convert one compelling demo into an internal story leadership can repeat, defend, and fund.

Audience gets:

  • The "pilot narrative" template: what to measure, capture, package
  • How to design feedback loops that produce proof
  • Wedge strategy for remote teams: community + consistency

Best for: enterprise wellness, HR/People Ops, innovation leads, B2B founders selling new categories

Building Credibility in Frontier Tech

Credibility Before Scale

Promise: Make frontier work believable before the category is widely understood—without over-claiming.

Audience gets:

  • The credibility stack: validators, artifacts, sequencing proof
  • How to package "real work" into legible evidence
  • Playbook for high-stakes meetings where trust must be earned fast

Best for: frontier tech founders, investors/partners, R&D teams, product leaders launching new categories
