About our CEO:

As the head of product and named inventor of our pending patents, he designed and built Lomotif from scratch with our founding engineer (Casey Law), who he met at MIT. He has proven his product intuition as GenZs have fallen in love with the product and are telling their friends about it. Lomotif has grown to over 20M users with $0 marketing spend and this exponential growth continues.

He also wears other hats, such as fundraising and music partnerships. He negotiates deals with all major music labels such as Sony, Universal and Warner, while constantly expanding Lomotif’s network in the west coast, meeting regularly with mentors/advisors ranging from Snapchat’s board of directors to successful founders.

Additional trivia: Previously he was a commercial cinematographer and recreationally he is both a pilot and musician.
