Author Bio:
He’s a seasoned global tech executive and lifelong entrepreneur with a passion for building businesses, exploring emerging technologies, and diving deep into the future of quantum computing and physics. But what really sets him apart isn’t just his career — it’s the battle he never chose but faces every day. Years ago, he developed trigeminal neuralgia, an excruciating chronic pain condition that led to multiple brain surgeries. One of them went wrong, introducing a second, equally brutal condition: anesthesia dolorosa. Despite living with unrelenting pain, he shows up every day and chooses to fight — mentally, physically, and emotionally. People call him “The Unstoppable Warrior Leader of the Specials,” and he wears that title with pride. He’s spent over a decade documenting what it takes to keep getting back up when life changes without warning. He’s also a devoted husband and father of two high schoolers, and a passionate golfer. After relearning how to walk and talk, he returned to the course — and now plays some of his best golf yet. His story isn’t just about pain or resilience. It’s about refusing to quit, finding joy in the hard days, and leading with grit, heart, and purpose.
