About Me
I began my college education at the University of San Diego, before transferring to Northeastern University in Boston to pursue a combined degree in Computer Science and Business Administration. Since being at Northeastern I’ve had the opportunity to be apart of a group on campus called TAMID, where I’ve consulted for both Israeli and Boston-based startups. Most recently, I contributed to a pricing and distribution strategy for publicly traded defense contractor’s drone ground control system, conducting competitive analysis and helping the company refine its go-to-market approach.
Outside of class, I’ve worked as an IT technician for my local school district, taught computer science, and in the summer of 2025 I joined Commvault’s (NASDAQ: CVLT) channel sales team as an intern. As a student at Northeastern I get to participate in the Co-Op program, the program allows students to work full-time for six months, gaining real-world experience while earning academic credit toward their degree. It’s one of the most unique and valuable aspects of a Northeastern education, and I’m incredibly excited to take this next step. Starting in January of 2026 I will be joining Boston Consulting Group as a Public Sector Management & Operations Co-op.
In March 2020 while still in high school, my brother suffered a spinal cord injury that left him quadriplegic. That moment reshaped my perspective on life and pushed me to find ways to contribute to my family and community. Beyond school and work, I’ve stayed committed to community service. Since 2015, I’ve been active with the Fair Haven Fire Department & First Aid Squad, first as a cadet (14-17 yrs old) and now as an EMS member responding to calls and supporting community events.

Support my Brother
In March 2020, when he was 17 years old and COVID-19 lockdowns were just beginning, my brother Hardie was out mountain biking. He was taking normal safety precautions, including wearing a helmet, when his bike lost traction and he hit a tree head-first.
As a result of the accident, Hardie broke his neck at the C4, C5, and C6 vertebrae, leaving him paralyzed. Today, he attends physical therapy several times a week as he continues working to regain motor function.
He has made meaningful progress so far, but his recovery journey is far from over. We are deeply grateful for all of the support our community has shown us thus far.
In December 2025, Hardie graduated online from Arizona State University with Honors. A link to an article published by ASU that shares more about Hardie’s educational journey is included below.
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.
