About

WHO AM I

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.

Community

Building Around What Actually Matters

The Stakes: When we look back on our lives, the things that endure aren’t exits or headlines—they’re the relationships we built and the people we showed up for. If you agree with that you'll agree that community is everything

The Approach:

  • Built communities around shared interests in Biohacking (first in Dubai, then in VR) as well as applied AI via salons and masterminds in NYC, Dubai, Miami, London and Davos
  • Designed events where people could connect with each other, not just be lectured
  • Moderated and facilitated conversations based on "Jeffersonian Dinner" framework
  • I treat community as a long-term relationship, non-transactional

Results:

  • Durable relationships both business and personal on a lifetime scale
  • People who reappear across initiatives because they feel seen and valued
  • A network that compounds through trust and reliability

Key Lesson: The strongest systems are built on relationships.

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
