I’m the founder and managing member of 1000 Delaware LLC, the company developing The Railyard, a one-acre adaptive reuse infill project in Lexington, Kentucky. After breaking ground in December 2025, we are transforming a former industrial site into a walkable, mixed-use community with 32 apartments and two retail spaces designed to serve Lexington’s middle-income workforce. With over a decade of experience as a real estate investor in Lexington and a professional background in digital marketing, I bring a blend of strategic thinking, brand insight, and hands-on execution to my work. Today, I apply those same instincts to building real-world communities.

I am the Founder of Revive Hub Renovations Dubai, a company built on the belief that people should understand a renovation clearly before they commit to it.⁶ My work is focused on helping Dubai homeowners and property investors make informed decisions around renovation scope, budgeting, design direction, and execution readiness across villas, apartments, and value driven residential upgrades. With years of hands on exposure to the realities of renovation in Dubai, I have seen that the biggest cost is often not construction itself, but uncertainty before construction begins. That insight shaped our First See Then Pay model at Revive Hub. We created it to bring more transparency, more confidence, and more decision clarity into a process that too often feels rushed, vague, or overly sales driven. I believe clients deserve to see where their money is going, understand what is practical, and move forward with greater control. My role is not simply to discuss finishes or timelines. It is to help clients think better before work starts, by identifying what adds value, what reduces risk, what improves real usability, and what can be executed responsibly in the real world. In a city like Dubai, where expectations are high and mistakes are expensive, that clarity matters. For me, renovation is not just about transforming property. It is about building trust early, aligning vision with execution, and helping people make decisions they feel confident about long before the first day on site.

My professional work is guided by a core principle: digital tools should provide a clear and verifiable representation of reality. This approach, rooted in a data-driven marketing background that began in 2003, informs everything I do in the field of spatial data and digital documentation. Core Professional Focus: Spatial Data & Digital Documentation As the founder of Adostrophe, my primary focus is creating high-fidelity digital twins using Matterport technology. These dimensionally-accurate data assets serve critical functions for clients in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC), and real estate sectors. My work includes: - Delivering digital documentation for large-scale architectural and real estate portfolios across diverse geographies in Asia and the Middle East. - Serving as a regular partner for enterprise-level projects, including work on behalf of Matterport, Inc. for their key clients. Community & Pro Bono Initiatives I believe that professional skills should also serve the community. A portion of my time is dedicated to helping non-profits and public knowledge initiatives achieve their missions through technology. - Digital Heritage Preservation: Volunteering to digitally document cultural and historical assets, contributing the resulting media to open knowledge platforms like Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia to support global education. - Google Ad Grants Management: Assisting non-profit organizations with securing and managing the Google Ad Grants program to support their mission and outreach. - Enhancing Public Visibility: As a contributor to Google Street View, I create 360° imagery to increase the online visibility and accessibility of local landmarks and cultural sites. Background & Foundational Experience My career began in 2003 in search engine marketing (SEM) at Yahoo!, managing premier accounts. This role established my focus on data-driven strategy and the importance of accuracy in the digital realm. This principle continues to be the foundation of my work today.

I’m the founder of Slickplan, a website planning platform designed to bring structure to how teams plan, organize, and produce digital experiences. Before building Slickplan, I spent over a decade running a digital agency where I saw the same problem repeat across projects. Teams were jumping into design and development without a clear structure, which led to confusion, delays, and costly rework. Slickplan was built to solve that by giving teams a system for planning websites and content before execution begins. My expertise is in website planning, information architecture, and content workflows. I focus on helping teams turn complex ideas into clear, structured deliverables that are ready for design, development, and CMS production. I’ve worked with a wide range of organizations including agencies, universities, nonprofits, and Fortune 500 companies.

I’ve spent more than 20 years working in 3D visualization, building on my background in industrial design from HfG Offenbach. When I started Render Vision, I wanted it to stand on three simple but powerful principles: precision, attention to detail, and creative problem-solving. For me, great 3D rendering isn’t just about technical perfection - it’s about emotion. I love using small, almost invisible details - like how morning light filters through curtains or how atmosphere shapes the feeling of a space - to make people feel what they see. That idea grew into what I now call “emotional realism.” It’s become the heart of Render Vision’s work and what makes our images stand out in an industry that often focuses purely on the technical side. To make sure this approach runs through everything we do, I developed a shared visual language for the team. It helps every artist understand and create that same emotional depth - so together, we can tell stories through spaces that people don’t just look at, but truly connect with.
