About Me
I was born in Texas in 1992 and grew up next to NASA Johnson Space Center. As a kid, launching rockets alongside NASA engineers through leadership development programs and witnessing the incredible things humanity is capable of set my trajectory early on.
My goal is to lay the foundation for a thriving cislunar economy, unlock the infinite resource in space, and make humanity multiplanetary. Right now, I am sending missions to space to establish critical infrastructure, enabling a sustainable future in space while improving life here on Earth.

Education
I founded Lunar Outpost with the vision of utilizing the infinite amount of resources and power in space to fundamentally transform life here on Earth. Lunar Outpost is already operating on the Earth, Moon, and Mars. Before 2030, we will send more than 7 missions to the Moon and cislunar space to establish infrastructure and enable a sustainable human presence in space.
Prior to Lunar Outpost I worked in the aerospace industry on programs ranging from high-altitude UAVs to multi-billion dollar satellite programs. I currently also serve on the advisory board for a clean energy company.

Family History
Ancient origins of my family can be traced back to Cyrus the Great, one of history's greatest leaders.
More recently, my family held notable positions across society; with many of them focused on having a positive impact.

My father served as VP of Lockheed Martin in the Moon to Mars office in the 1990’s after working at NASA in human spaceflight. Growing up watching my dad, his colleagues, and interacting with NASA Astronauts had a profound effect on my career trajectory.
