I hope to cultivate more creators and visionary leaders by engaging imaginations, creating infinite possibilities and starting important conversations.

Besides being an founder and entrepreneur, I have always been a creator.

We have a responsibility to explore every possibility of creating a better future for 100% of life.

Goals include providing a digital global platform to non profits and charities that expose and create awareness of their causes, as well as provide a forum where policies and solutions can be discussed, formulated and implemented to instill change on a larger scale, making a greater difference. Currently I am involved in developing a global platform solution for War Veterans and Victims of War and assist with promoting global initiatives such as Walk For Peace, as well as a new educational support platform and vibrational therapy and wellness platform.
