What I’m building

Different projects. One underlying thesis.

Most of my work sits somewhere between technology, entrepreneurship, community and relationships. Some are companies. Some are communities. Others are experiments.

They’re connected by the same belief: the right relationships can change what becomes possible.

The ventures

Real-world proof of the same thesis — and where a lot of what ends up in the product gets tested first.

GetNetworked

An event platform for hosts and community builders. Ticketing, check-in, email and SMS, AI networking suggestions, digital business cards and AI post-event reports, in one system on iOS, Android and web.

Who it’s for
Hosts, community builders and organizations that run professional events, and the professionals who attend them.
My role
I founded GetNetworked and lead it as CEO: product, partnerships and the hosts we build it with.
  • No cost to host. Attendees cover the fee, and hosts keep 100% of ticket face value.
  • Hosts own their attendee data and can keep the room talking after the event with post-event chat.
  • AI post-event reports (PDF and Excel) land in the host’s inbox when the event ends; the same reporting is behind Microsoft’s HOLA and AVANZAR programs.
  • Featured by Hypepotamus (Aug 2026) and on Atlanta Business Radio (Sep 2026).
  • Event creation & registration
  • Ticketing & QR check-in
  • Attendee profiles
  • Email & SMS communication
  • Sponsors & speakers
  • AI-powered introductions
  • Community management
  • Event analytics & post-event insight
  • Recurring, virtual & hybrid events

Product · Founder

ScanningMenu

An AI app that reads any menu through your phone’s camera, scores every item for your personal goal and allergies, and points you to the single best pick.

Who it’s for
Anyone with a health goal or an allergy who wants a clear answer in seconds.
My role
I founded ScanningMenu and built it as a product experiment in practical, everyday AI.
  • Every item gets a 0–100 score, re-ranked instantly when you switch goals.
  • Scan to recommendation in about five seconds, with an allergy check.
  • The score is explainable: you see exactly why an item ranks where it does.

Other projects

I like building and testing ideas. From event concepts to technology experiments, not everything needs to become a venture-backed company.

Some things are simply an opportunity to learn, solve a problem, or bring interesting people together.

Experience

Rooms I’ve hosted and co-hosted.

Nearly 300 events on GetNetworked list me as host, co-host or part of the team. These are the twelve with the most RSVPs, as GetNetworked shows them. Tap a flyer to see it full size.

RSVP counts from GetNetworked, read Oct 24, 2026. RSVPs are registrations, not check-ins.
