hello

Currently I’m focused on:

  • Researching food systems, supporting local food networks
  • Building a best in class supply chain for Banza

The commercial food system often operates against to the interest of both consumers and farmers. The continued industrialization of food is not inevitable.

  • University of Michigan – BSE – Mechanical Engineering
  • University of Cambridge – MBA – Entrepreneurship

  • Raspberry Pi – Global sourcing and manufacturing support, microcomputer
  • KoRo – Berlin based bulk food company – led US sourcing efforts

I spent almost five years working for Navistar and Navistar Defense, a truck and engine manufacturer. I supported the launch of the MRAP program in 2007 and led the program management of Foreign Military Sales.

Here is an old travel blog when I had a lot to say about not much. I used to travel a lot. I like to go trail running and do yoga stuff.
