He is committed to lifelong learning and continuous improvement, both personally and professionally. He takes great pride in mentoring his team, helping them grow not just in their careers but in all aspects of their lives. Above all, he is proud of the long-term relationships he has cultivated throughout his career.

Outside of family and work, he pursues a range of passions: ultra-running, golf, hybrid training, and reading across a broad spectrum of subjects. His interests include AI research, venture capital, macroeconomics, geopolitics, biohacking and longevity through to space exploration, and more.
