Music
Music has been part of my life for more than 30 years. I am a pianist and musician drawn especially to piano rock and EDM — styles that combine emotion, rhythm, melody, and intensity.
Piano has always been more than an instrument to me. It is a way to process life, tell the truth, and express things that words alone usually cannot carry.

What I Care About
I care about secure systems, human dignity in the age of data, privacy-preserving technology, strong families, faith, leadership, creativity, and building a life that reflects courage, discipline, and love.
