I'm the co-founder and CEO of Preamble, where we're building the future of secure communication and collaboration tools. I'm also the founder of Omnia Innovations, my personal company dedicated to solving problems, innovating, and building solutions in AI and cybersecurity.

I served 4 years on active duty in the US Air Force, specializing in IT and cybersecurity operations. This experience built the foundation for my technical expertise and approach to solving complex security challenges. Before my service, I graduated from Penn State University where I played ice hockey for one year, continuing my lifelong passion for the sport.

Through Omnia Innovations, I'm developing cutting-edge solutions including counter-robotics and autonomous systems (c-RAS), AI-powered security tools, and innovative products like Omnia OS. Each project represents a real-world problem I'm solving, combining cutting-edge technology with practical security principles.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, I'm always interested in connecting with others working at the intersection of security, AI, and innovation. When I'm not building technology, you'll find me on the ice—ice hockey has been my favorite sport and passion since childhood. Feel free to explore the projects above and reach out if you'd like to collaborate or discuss any of these ideas.
