About Me
I began my college education at the University of San Diego before transferring to Northeastern University in Boston, where I’m pursuing a combined degree in Computer Science and Business Administration with a concentration in Healthcare Management & Consulting.
At Northeastern, I’ve been involved with TAMID, a student consulting and investing group, where I’ve worked on projects for startups. Most recently, I contributed to a U.S. go-to-market strategy for Mobilicom, a publicly traded defense technology company, focusing on pricing, distribution, and competitive positioning for its drone ground control systems.
Professionally, I recently completed a six-month co-op with Boston Consulting Group as a Public Sector Management & Operations Co-op. In that role, I worked on practice operations, automation, data analysis, internal dashboards, and AI enablement initiatives for BCG’s Public Sector practice. Before BCG, I interned with Commvault’s channel sales and strategic partnerships team during the summer of 2025, where I worked on partner strategy, Power BI analysis, SharePoint hubs, and go-to-market materials. I’ve also worked as an IT technician for my local school district and taught computer science.
Outside of school and work, much of my time is spent in EMS and community service. Since 2015, I’ve been active with the Fair Haven Fire Department & First Aid Squad, first as a cadet and now as an EMS member responding to calls and supporting community events. I also serve as a volunteer Co-Director of Information Technology for the department, helping improve its internal systems, public-facing website, and digital infrastructure.
That experience has also shaped the projects I choose to build. I’m currently developing BackboardEMS, an AI-powered EMS training platform designed to help emergency responders strengthen their narrative documentation, protocol knowledge, and decision-making through structured feedback.

Support my Brother
In March 2020, just as COVID-19 lockdowns were beginning, my brother Hardie was involved in a mountain biking accident at 17 years old. He was wearing a helmet and taking normal safety precautions when his bike lost traction and he struck a tree head-first.
The accident caused a severe spinal cord injury, breaking his neck at the C4, C5, and C6 vertebrae and leaving him quadriplegic. Since then, Hardie has continued to work incredibly hard through physical therapy several times a week as he fights to regain strength, independence, and motor function.
His recovery has been long and challenging, but he has made meaningful progress along the way. Our family is deeply grateful for the support our community has shown us throughout this journey.
In December 2025, Hardie graduated online from Arizona State University with honors. Below, you can find a link to an article published by ASU that shares more about his educational journey.
Volunteer Work
For over a decade I have volunteered with the Fair Haven Volunteer Fire Department and First Aid Squad, which is a 100% volunteer emergency services organization serving Fair Haven and the surrounding area. I first got involved through community service at the annual Firemen’s Fair. That eventually led me to join as a Fire Cadet at age 14. I stayed in the Cadet Program until I turned 18, at which point I officially swore into the First Aid Squad.
Since then I have responded to hundreds of emergency calls each year as part of the department’s average of 400 to 500 medical and fire related responses. We provide trained care as an EMTs and EMRs and respond to both medical and fire scenes.
My involvement is not limited to emergency calls. I also serve on several internal committees and positions that help the department operate and serve the public. This includes serving as a Co-Director of IT, and sitting on the following committees: Public Relations, Media, Engineering, Uniform, and EMS Cadets. In these roles I help improve communication, maintain equipment and technology, support member training, and uphold professional standards for appearance and safety.
I am also involved in the Cadet Program from the leadership side. I help younger members learn basic skills, understand how the department works, and get comfortable in a volunteer emergency services environment. Since I started as a Cadet myself, I take a lot of pride in helping the next group grow and stay engaged.
Across both response and committee work, I am grateful for the chance to serve the Fair Haven Fire Company and its associated organizations. The goal is simple: protect lives and property, support our community, and maintain a high level of professionalism in an all-volunteer system.
