Culture of Merit, Performance and Loyalty

                 Founder & CEO, Anime Universe Global

I’m not here to build just another company—I’m here to build a unified experience to bring the world closer together. 

Anime Universe is my life’s work. A next-gen entertainment ecosystem created from scratch. Built at the intersection of anime, gaming, technology, and community. We’re not following a blueprint—we’re writing it. Every framework, every feature, every experience is engineered to serve creators and fans, and industry professionals, not just platforms.

My background is rooted in product vision, sales, business development, and digital transformation. I’m a Founder Institute Toronto grad, and I’ve been pushing against the limits of what’s possible with no shortcuts, no noise—just focus, grit, and clarity. I've been a gamer and anime fan most of my teens and adult life.

What drives me? My love for the space. Integrity. Execution. Solving Problems. Creating new things the world will enjoy and bring them closer together. I'm building with purpose. When I commit, it’s all the way. There’s no half-measure in my story.

Over the next decade and beyond, we will launch a series of products, studios, and technologies that will redefine how people connect with entertainment, consume content and how they co-create culture.
