I build environments where people and businesses thrive.

Hi, I’m Chip!

I love bringing big ideas to life — whether it’s transforming underutilized spaces into thriving destinations, scaling businesses through creative strategies, or launching community-driven initiatives that leave a lasting impact. At the core of my work is a mission to enrich lives and build stronger, more resilient communities and businesses.

With a background that blends commercial real estate development, business operations, and community building, I take a strategic yet hands-on approach to solving problems and unlocking opportunities. Over the past decade, I’ve led large-scale mixed-use projects, managed hundreds of events, helped businesses scale at an accelerated pace, and launched programs like Creators Ignite, empowering underserved youth through entrepreneurship. I also co-founded The District-SD, shaping San Diego’s newest Arts District in Logan Heights.

Along the way, I’ve partnered with industry leaders, scaled fast-growing startups, and built two businesses of my own from the ground up — always focused on creating value, strengthening communities, and delivering exceptional experiences.

What sets me apart? I see what’s missing—whether it’s a gap in how spaces are used, an opportunity for growth, or a way to bring people together in a more meaningful way. I thrive at the intersection of strategy and creativity, and my passion lies in building things that don’t just work—but truly resonate with people. Above all, I’m driven to create unique, memorable experiences and environments that inspire connection, creativity, growth, and a sense of belonging.

If you’re looking to create something extraordinary, let’s connect — I’d love to help bring it to life.
