About

Growing up with an old IBM computer in my home sparked my curiosity and love for technology. That humble machine opened up a world of possibilities, and I spent my free time teaching myself to code with books from the local library. The arrival of the internet in my household only fueled my passion further.

Though I've always been a creative soul, it wasn't until college that I discovered my true calling. Majoring in commercial photography led me to take graphic design courses, and I was instantly captivated. I began devoting my time to digital and interactive design.

Starting as an interactive designer at an agency, I crafted Flash ads for clients – yes, those pesky ads that followed you around the web. My career progressed to lead design roles and eventually art director positions. Over the years, I've launched numerous companies, some failed, some sold, and one that's still thriving.

In 2010, I founded Glean, a technology agency dedicated to creating technology for public good and social impact. Glean expanded into a flourishing consultancy with offices in the United States and Southeast Asia and over 32 staff members. In 2025 I sold Glean to the Kydon Group based in Singapore, ending over a decade of work in Cambodia. I'm grateful to have been able to collaborate with incredible organizations like UNICEF, UN Women, World Bank, World Vision, USAID, neverthirst, and many more.

The intersection of technology, culture, and innovation is what truly excites me. Currently, I focus on technology research and design for organizations in Southeast Asia through my role as a professor at the American University of Phnom Penh. I'm enthusiastic about the future of technology in emerging markets and its potential to enhance lives.

Family is my greatest treasure. My wife Breanne and I, along with our four children, Eden, Rhys, Coen, and Aida, share a passion for helping, serving, and loving people. I also speak at various events throughout the year. If you'd like me to speak at your event, feel free to email me.
