Arlington, VA–based CEO and producer with 25+ years scaling businesses across live events, healthcare operations, and AI-powered marketing. Currently a fractional executive at Candor Healthcare — leading strategic growth for a physician-first ASC & pain management MSO — alongside my other ventures and projects.
My work spans three connected worlds — producing large-scale live experiences, building and financing healthcare operations, and putting AI to work in marketing and business process.
25 years producing galas, festivals, and branded experiences across 9 major U.S. markets — 20,000+ annual attendees and $50M+ in cumulative revenue through HiBall Events, Big Night DC, and USAsian Fest.
M&A due diligence, physician partnerships, and MSO development. Leading acquisition strategy at Candor Healthcare and building patient-focused tools like PainBeacon.
Generative AI and agent-driven workflows for marketing, operations, and product — from the DC Claude Meetup community to AI-built, data-first directories like BestRaces and Rich Shea Butter, plus AEO/SEO client work for recruiting firm Spectrum Careers.
An ASC & pain management MSO built around a simple idea: let physicians focus exclusively on patient care while we handle the business. As fractional Managing Director of Strategic Growth, I lead the acquisition phase — identifying and evaluating healthcare facilities, running operational and financial due diligence, and building the physician partnership framework.
An independent national directory of 12,400+ pain clinics, ranked on merit — board certification, interventional capability, and verified reviews, never pay-to-rank. A standalone project that complements my work at Candor Healthcare.

I'm a strategic operator and enterprise leader based in Arlington, Virginia. Over 25 years I've scaled businesses from inception to multi-million dollar valuations, managed P&Ls exceeding $50 million in aggregate, and expanded operations into 9 major U.S. markets — including DC, Nashville, California, and New Orleans.
Today I split my time across several ventures. In a fractional executive role at Candor Healthcare, I lead facility acquisitions, due diligence, and physician partnership development for an ASC & pain management MSO. Alongside that, I continue producing major live events and building with generative AI and AI agents.
I hold a B.S. in Business Management (minor in Economics) from James Madison University, and give back through community leadership — including Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) of Northern Virginia and founding the Dulles Area Chamber of Commerce.
Whether it's Candor Healthcare, an event partnership, an AI project, or an opportunity you think I'd be right for — I'd love to hear from you.
