Who I am...
An optical scientist, product strategist, a yoga enthusiast, a cyclist, and a food & wine lover. I received a PhD in Optics from the University of Central Florida in Orlando, and am now the Senior Director of Product at Luminar Technologies pursuing my passion for accelerating technology commercialization. In addition to my work in technology, I sit as a board member of CREOL, the College of Optics & Photonics at UCF, and the Florida Photonics Cluster.

Why this site exists...
I am most interested in the ways in which science can have an impact on society in the near term. So, in an attempt to spur discussion about issues both serious and esoteric, I hope this blog-cluster will stand as a place for me to post my thoughts and welcome commentary. I'll focus in four areas:
Technology - Education - Public Policy - Life
I hope this page will help me to develop my cognitive wanderings and perhaps connect me to those of similar mind so feel free to contact me.
