Most recently, I was VP of Sales at Criteo. I’m also a proud son, husband, and Dad!

From tutoring homeless youth in Los Angeles to being a fixture at AOL’s internal university, I’ve always gotten a thrill from imparting knowledge to others. Ever since getting into this industry, I’ve been obsessed with taking a seemingly complicated space and simplifying it into understandable terms. That obsession originally manifested itself as a ‘Programmatic 101’ lecture that I gave regularly at Johns Hopkins University and The Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University. It has evolved to where I am today: adjunct professor at The Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University, teaching a course on programmatic advertising, and founder of U of Digital, a digital marketing education company.
My goal for U of Digital is to offer digital marketing education that will empower individuals and teams to drive better outcomes. And hopefully have fun while doing it.
There will be a lot more about the team, and a ton of additional information / resources made available on this site in the coming months, so please check back in. Thanks for visiting and happy learning!
