Fun fact: My LinkedIn isn't my resume. 

So don't come here looking to evaluate hiring me based on my LinkedIn. 

Or maybe you should look at my LinkedIn to realize I beautifully blend data and analytics with entertaining and educational storytelling. 

I always dreamed of being a television programmer. It never happened, so instead I live out my dream programming LinkedIn like my own TV channel. 

Over the past 5 years, I’ve logged 10,000+ hours on this platform. I’ve built a following of 100,000+ by programming my LinkedIn like my own TV channel. My content isn’t random. It’s strategic. Story-driven. Designed to drive real outcomes.

And it’s worked, generating $10M+ in deals for the companies I've worked. Read that one again. Not me, but my companies. The power of companies leveraging LinkedIn is the future of LinkedIn. 

In 2021, I launched a global  events company while working with a Mark Cuban and Ashton Kutcher startup, producing 40+ events in LA, NYC, Dubai, Paris, and London that drove millions of dollars in  revenue. I understand how to leverage LinkedIn so companies can drive real results. 

A few highlights:

-Closed a strategic partnership with CAA
-Raised $7M in funding for a Mark Cuban venture-backed startup
-Secured $4.13M in brand deals for one of the world’s top celebrities

My background spans banking (JPMorganChase), global advisory (PwC, KPMG), and a decade as CFO/COO in the luxury design world, managing 50+ people and overseeing $40M+ in ARR and $1B+ in real estate projects for icons like President Obama, George Clooney, and Cindy Crawford.

I’ve lived and worked in LA, NYC, and Dubai. I’ve built communities in tech, luxury, and now the creator economy. I’m obsessed with solving complex business problems through storytelling, partnerships, and scalable brand strategy.

Always open to meeting new and interesting people that love life, love to win, and love to make the world a better place.

The best follow on LinkedIn?

Nila Makhfi, M.S.

She’s doing something no one else is doing.

She’s bringing together LinkedIn and real life. 

She's building LinkedUp.

I went to one of her events last week.

Mind blown.

Creators. Founders. Creatives. 
Same room. Same energy. Real conversations.

We both went to University of Southern California.

She invited me to speak on a panel to students about LinkedIn.

I told them:

90% of people in my phone are now people I met on LinkedIn over the past 5 years.

That's not an exaggeration.

That's the power of this platform.

But here's the thing:

LinkedIn gets you the connection.

Meeting in person builds the relationship.

That's what Nila Makhfi, M.S. understands.

That's what LinkedUp is all about.

Do yourself a favor and follow her.

Trust me and Keemia Mahmodian on this one.

The best city in America right now?

It might be San Francisco.

I'm shocked I'm even saying it.

I've always been an LA or NYC guy.

But I was up there this week for the first time in a while.

Attended some amazing events hosted by my friends at Brand Innovators and Creative Artists Agency during Super Bowl week.

I was immediately struck by the cleanliness.

The homeless crisis that dominated headlines for years?

Addressed in a major way.

I felt safe.
I felt energized.
I felt proud to be American.

Maybe it was just the Super Bowl energy.

But I think it's something more.

San Francisco's new Mayor Daniel Lurie took office in January 2025.

He's not just signing executive orders from City Hall.

He's out there.
In the neighborhoods.
Picking up trash himself.
Leading community cleanups.

His "Breaking the Cycle" initiative is tackling homelessness head-on.

Not with press releases.
With action.

The city that tech abandoned?
The city that became a punchline?

It's coming back.

I hope the mayors of LA and NYC book a flight to SFO soon.

Because this is the model.

American cities deserve better. 

The American people deserve better. 

Trust me and Daniel Lurie on this one.
