About
I’ve been building things since I was five years old, drawing up plans for roller coasters and dreaming about becoming a Disney Imagineer. That dream stuck — I became a mechanical engineer, spent time as a Disney Imagineer designing experiences meant to make people genuinely happy, and somewhere along the way realized that’s just who I am. I build things because making someone’s life a little better is the best feeling I know.
My son Ari brought me back to something I’d always loved but never made enough time for. We started exploring physics together — the cosmos, how things work, why the universe behaves the way it does — and watching him light up reminded me that curiosity is worth protecting. It’s one of the best things we do together.
My younger son Joshy has anaphylactic food allergies — dairy, eggs, sesame, peanuts — and we’re deep in an allergy program that has made our whole family hyper-aware of what that life actually looks like. The separate lunch tables. The birthday parties where we bring our own food or leave early. The way a kid can feel like an outsider just because of what they can’t eat. I’m writing a children’s book because I haven’t found one that makes those kids — and their parents — feel truly seen. I want to change that.
This is Shipyard. It’s where I build the things I can’t stop thinking about.
