Managing Director
2023
Excited to announce that I’m joining the team at Arkive, the world’s first distributed museum curated + owned by a global community. My role will be to launch the Arkive Art Fund and our @ART brand as our Managing Director. Throughout my career, I've invested in, worked at or volunteered for countless organizations that have evolved the way communities thrive and interact. Combining my skill sets of community building, investing, curation, and being a conduit, I’m invigorated to expand upon what Arkive has created around the 🌎 Arkive has created a community of the most impactful leaders in arts & culture, and we are building one of the most important collections in history, while being continually showcased in public and private spaces. Our @ART instagram brand is diving deep into all things Art, and bringing our community into the mix IRL and Online. Art is for all and we are pushing that evolution daily. Unlike traditional museums, Arkive does not confine its collection of tier-one art to a single physical location. On average less than 10% of a museum’s collection is ever seen by the public at any given time, the rest sits in storage. Arkive is changing the museum model by 1) becoming the first investible museum - providing patrons the opportunity to own shares in the collection and 2) partnering with public and private spaces globally to showcase the works, with the aim of increasing their visibility, accessibilty, impact, & value. The Arkive fund will continue to work through the Arkive community to elevate, educate, and contextualize the significance of all our upcoming acquisitions, while always maintaining our commitment to placing as close to 100% of the works in context on public display. Over the past year, we have had art works featured at Art Basel Miami, SXSW, Davos, Paris, Milken, Mexico City, Los Angeles with the Getty Foundation, MMCA in Seoul, Korea, Grand Master Records, and the Calgary Central Library.

We started The #MiamiTech Happy Hour to connect everyone in Miami who has a shared interest in Tech, when there were so many new interesting people moving to Miami. It began as a casual meetup during the loosening of the quarentine of 2020 and has blossomed into the go to weekly event in the #MiamiTech ecosystem! This is a recurring happy hour for new and old Miamians interested in connecting with fellow entrepreneurs, investors, tech folks, and a diverse group of awesome people. Come grab a drink and catch up! A few logistical details: We host this gathering every week, at the FREEHOLD - find us in the outdoor area! We normally start at 6 PM and It usually lasts for a few hours - come and go when works for you. There is street parking around the area. Often we have sponsors + panels (startups, VC's, Tech companies, public/private organizations, etc.) that want to support and connect with the Miami community!
