Where you’re from:
Orlando, Florida

The first watch that moved you:
Rolex Daytona 116500 “White Panda” in stainless steel

Why:
Seeing guitarists like John Mayer wear watches on stage made me realize that timepieces can be just as much a statement as the guitars in their hands. Paired with something iconic like a Fender Stratocaster, the watch becomes part of the identity. That is really cool to see.

Day-to-day at EWC:
I work behind the scenes to ensure our digital platforms and operational systems deliver a smooth, consistent, and trusted experience across every interaction.

Grail:
Rolex Daytona 116598TBR “Eye of the Tiger” in yellow gold. It’s bold, flashy, and pretty much the definition of a rockstar watch.

The world should know:
I’m a musician with a passion for writing music and playing guitar, and I perform in a band called Pool Party Band. I also have a deep interest in artificial intelligence and previously to EWC built an AI software for the U.S. Air Force before tools like ChatGPT were in market, which influences how I approach building smarter products and systems at EWC. When I’m not at EWC, I’m most likely traveling with my wife, our newborn son Wesley, and our Goldendoodle, Timmy.
