My Human Experience
Always seeking to create while journeying with others.
My incredible journey kicks off in the vibrant heart of Zambia, meanders through the bustling and historic streets of the UK, and ultimately lands me in the dynamic innovation hub of Silicon Valley. Here, I am honored to have the privilege of working alongside world-class leaders and renowned organizations, all at the exhilarating crossroads of venture capital and entrepreneurship. This journey has been nothing short of a thrilling adventure, filled with learning, growth, and incredible experiences.
My deep-seated fascination with the power of global collaboration was ignited and nurtured through my roles in leading partnerships for illustrious entities such as the Draper Venture Network, Shell, and the Ministry of Justice. These invaluable experiences have profoundly shown me the boundless potential that arises when diverse ecosystems come together, each contributing their unique strengths and perspectives to solve complex challenges and drive innovation forward.
As a proud Kauffman Fellow, I am wholeheartedly dedicated to supporting and empowering organizations that are passionately cultivating the next generation of innovators. Among these inspiring organizations are Restless Development, BongoHive Technology Hub, and ABLE (Accelerating Black Leadership & Entrepreneurship). My commitment to these causes is unwavering, and I am deeply invested in their missions to create a better and more inclusive future.
Creativity and a love for the great outdoors are indelibly etched in my DNA. I find immense joy and fulfillment in composing music, coaching soccer, and exploring the breathtaking trails of the San Francisco Bay Area. This region's natural beauty never ceases to amaze me, and it provides endless opportunities for adventure and reflection. I am fortunate to share this incredible journey with my incredible wife and our two amazing daughters, who continually inspire and motivate me. Life, in all its richness and diversity, is a grand adventure, and I am savoring every precious moment with a heart full of gratitude and excitement!
