About
I run Connect, the organization that coined "accelerator" before the word existed, now entering its 5th decade. As CEO, I'm repositioning it as a global engine for AI, DefenseTech, and life sciences founders, built around capital access, data infrastructure, and what we call StoryMaking. Before Connect, I was CSO at Tulane Medicine and built technology transfer at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus from scratch. Ask me about building innovation ecosystems, San Diego's tech and defense scene, AI in healthcare, and supporting founders at every stage.
