About me
I’m a data scientist and business intelligence specialist based in Los Angeles, California. I work on BI tools at Relativity Space. I have worked in business intelligence roles since 2018, after a nine-year career in journalism, where I worked as an investigative, business, and general assignment reporter at publications in Maine and California.
I grew up in the suburb of Diamond Bar, California, before going to Maine for college. Maine is amazing and I stayed in Portland, where my wife and I met and lived from 2011 to 2025, when we relocated to Los Angeles to be closer to family (and LA is also lovely).
I started my journalism career as the first local editor for Patch.com in my hometown. I came back to Maine for a staff job at a small, afternoon daily paper in Brunswick. I developed a fondness for data reporting at Mainebiz before three years covering Maine’s economy and investigations at the Bangor Daily News.
Witnessing some live data science and statistics wizardry one election night at the Bangor Daily News (when the paper had a data scientist on staff!) fascinated me and pushed me in a new direction. I received a master’s degree in data science in the Fall 2024 from Northeastern University, through its new Portland, Maine, campus.
Before Relativity, I started the business intelligence practice at the regional accounting firm Baker Newman Noyes. Before that, I worked primarily in Tableau as a BI consultant at Arkatechture, working for clients including Cole Haan, Sony and L.L.Bean.
