BIOGRAPHY
Husband, father, and community-rooted leader with a deep passion for Oakland, the Bay Area, and the power of youth development to transform futures. I bring over a decade of executive-level experience in education equity, organizational growth, and cross-sector collaboration—working at the intersection of mission and measurable outcomes.
Known for driving strategic partnerships, expanding program impact, and building inclusive teams, I’m passionate about creating systems that work for students who have been historically underserved. Whether fundraising, building brand identity, or leading cross-functional teams, I strive to center community voice and equity in all I do.
Skilled in stakeholder engagement, communication, and systems-building—with a proven ability to turn big visions into sustainable, community-powered results.
