Where Sports, Strategy & AI Converge
Who I Am
I'm a junior at the University of Oregon, majoring in Advertising with a minor in Sports Business. I live at the intersection of sports culture, brand strategy, and emerging technology — with a growing passion for how AI and data analytics are reshaping the way we understand fans, athletes, and markets.
From analyzing sneaker trends at The Eugene NEST, to conducting NIL research with the Oregon Accelerator, to working with the Eugene Emeralds — the High-A affiliate of the MLB San Francisco Giants — I bring real-world experience across professional sports, retail, and brand strategy.
As a proud member of Sigma Nu Fraternity and former DEI Chairman, I'm committed to building inclusive communities and bringing diverse perspectives to every team I join.

My Resume
Where It Started
Before college, before the clubs and internships, there was a teenager in McMinnville with a phone, a dream, and a growing stockpile of sneakers. In high school, I launched a sneaker reselling business that became my first real education in entrepreneurship.
At my peak, I was managing an inventory of 100–200+ pairs — tracking drops, monitoring StockX and GOAT prices daily, studying market fluctuations, and timing buys and sells to maximize margins. Every pair was a mini-investment, and every release day was game day.
That hustle taught me everything: supply and demand, trend forecasting, inventory management, customer relationships, and the discipline of running a real operation. It introduced me to the world of footwear culture and gave me an unshakeable love for the business behind the sneakers.
Most importantly, it proved to me that I could build something from nothing. That high school side hustle is the foundation of who I am today — and why I chase opportunities at the intersection of sports, business, and culture.
