Events
My gatherings bring together leaders, artists, and innovators across generations—at the intersection of data, AI, and creative stewardship.
Purposeful Gatherings, Rooted in Strategy and Soul
Each is an experiment in applied serendipity: Where technology meets humanity, conversation meets craft, and connection unfolds without agenda.
These gatherings form the Cross-Gen & Creative Stewardship Series—a living portfolio of dinners, workshops, and retreats that connect the worlds of data, AI, and human creativity.
Each event explores how technology and imagination can coexist—cultivating wisdom, beauty, and community across generations.

Earth Day 2023
Greg and I hosted an Earth Day fundraiser for the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. We visited the bees, held the grand opening of our orchard, enjoyed some delicious forest-inspired bites from Buffalo Bite Club, and celebrated nature with a creative vibe. As Chef Kristine said, "Grab a bite, fill your thermos, take a hike, grab a bag of trail mix, make a s’more, and toss your stick and bag in the fire on the way out."
