The Early Years
I was born in Brussels, Belgium into a family of two loving parents and the best brother I could ask for. At the age of three, my family moved to Barcelona, Spain. Then, at six years old, we moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania in the United States.

During my first two weeks of school in the US, I went home crying every day, because I didn’t speak English. During this time, sleep was my greatest fear. “Alone, in the dark, with my own thoughts? No thank you!” I suffered from crippling panic attacks at night that paralyzed my body. Most nights, I couldn’t even scream for help, because I was so afraid.
To help with my night terrors, my parents introduced me to the wonders of mindfulness. They helped me perform simple body scan meditations to help me fall asleep.
Then, as I grew older, I developed a passion for the sciences. I loved learning how the world worked on a fundamental level.
The beauty with math and science is that there is usually a right answer and multiple ways to get it. This foundation helped me build an objective way of viewing the world.

The Working Years

After high school, I decided to obtain a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Then, I stayed an extra year to pursue a Master’s in Management and Organizational Leadership to complement my engineering background.
During my college years, I was fortunate and grateful to gain diverse, global work experience. This includes working as a procurement analyst at an sustainable energy firm in Paris, France, a research assistant for nanomaterials at one of the largest universities in Europe in Barcelona, Spain, an operational specialist for an industrial gas company in Dubai, UAE, and a process engineer for a construction manufacturing company in Washington D.C., USA.
After graduation, I decided to pursue a career in consulting at IBM. There, I got the opportunity to work on various projects: building an all inclusive Internet-of- Things (IoT) dashboard around four new technologies, analyzing the $375 billion the Department of Defense spends on contracting, and driving the sales presentation of a $10 billion cloud deal for the NSA.
This is where I did the majority of my inventing. For years, I thought patents were this illusive mystery that only the world’s smartest people were able to get. In fact, I was quite discouraged to even get into patenting at first, because of the barriers of entry associated with it.
Then, I was introduced to some all-star inventors, many of whom are on Wikipedia’s Most Prolific Inventors List, who showed me what it took to become a prolific inventor.
After some time at IBM, I fell into the “purpose gap”. I could not avoid questions, like: “What is the meaning of life? What is the bigger picture?”

To answer these questions, I intensified my learnings. I continued my pursuit of knowledge by reading graduate level math and physics textbooks, while simultaneously expanding and deepening my meditative practice.
As it became clear, there’s more to this world than what today’s math and physics can explain. For how great modern physics is, it had yet to provide a sustainable model for consciousness.
Enter, The Idea Space
The combination of mindfulness and the exact sciences was like the merger of two neutron stars: the creation of a supermassive black hole. What happens if one takes the basics of mathematics and applies them to thoughts?
Namely, what if there was a space that consisted of thoughts, emotions, sensations, and perceptions—an idea space? What would the properties of an idea space be? What would the identity of an idea space be? How would an idea space fit within the world around us? And, how could the concept of an idea space benefit humanity?
The Idea Space provides the beginnings of a digestible structure for the mind that is congruent with modern physics and applicable to all humans. The book allows the reader to view their own thoughts, emotions, sensations, and perceptions as objectively as they would view anything in spacetime—devoid of “I”. Thus, unlocking the inner creative power of your mind.

These days, I’m dispelling the usual mysticism associated with mindfulness by helping others understand the mathematical and physical science behind it.

I’m also helping entrepreneurs bring their innovative ideas to life through my background in inventing and through an online patent course.
Overall, my goal is to inspire anyone searching for the hidden truths of our world to find a genuine, sincere, and harmonious purpose to life.
The beauty of these truths is they are hidden in plain sight.
All you have to do is look.
