Operations researcherInformation scientistPrivate industrial librarianFounder, BOMForge · Los Angeles

I trained in operations research and information science at UNC, and I work as a private industrial librarian: I catalog American manufacturers by capability, certification, NAICS code, and geography. BOMForge puts that catalog in the hands of procurement teams.

I also run Catholic Social Ventures, a portfolio of apps for the faithful. I serve as a Master Catechist in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and I’m praying for the canonization of Servant of God Dorothy Day.
