Believer. Builder of redemptive economies. Rooted in Atlanta. Committed to Black health, ownership, and prosperity.
I design, build, fund, and steward initiatives that move ideas into institutions—so families and founders can thrive for generations.

Amateur photographer, lifelong writer, aspiring pilot, and art collector. I cycle Atlanta's loops at sunrise, chase light, angles and God's creation with a camera, and collect stories, on paper and canvas, about who we've been and who we're becoming.
