Operating a transportation company revealed opportunities that would have been difficult to see from outside the industry.

My ventures span technology, mobility, clean energy, art, culture, communities and global experiences. They weren't all conceived as parts of a master plan.
Most began the same way: I saw an opportunity, became curious about what might be possible, and started building.
Over time, something interesting happened. Knowledge gained in one started informing another. Technology created opportunities for communities. Communities inspired experiences. Transportation opened new possibilities around mobility. Culture connected ideas across borders.
What once looked like separate ventures increasingly feels like an ecosystem.
Building infrastructure for communities and experiences.
Timl is a next-generation platform designed to make it possible to create and operate distinct digital communities, specialized experiences and businesses on shared technology — providing the common foundation while allowing each experience to keep its own identity, purpose and community.

Rethinking premium ground transportation.
LuxeAer provides reservation-based airport and long-distance transportation using luxury BMW electric vehicles. I founded it in 2023 around a simple proposition: professional transportation can combine personal service, comfort and environmental responsibility without becoming another mass-market rideshare experience.

EkoAyiti is a California-based clean-energy startup with operations in Hinche, Haiti, addressing deforestation and carbon emissions while helping meet Haiti's need for sustainable energy. Production began in Hinche in September 2026 — the transition from concept to operating venture. The longer-term vision is a renewable-energy business capable of creating economic opportunity in Haiti and eventually expanding across the Caribbean.

A Haitian tradition. Reimagined for the world.
Kite Wars is an international championship built around the competitive tradition of Haitian kite fighting. The idea is larger than a sporting event: it brings together competition, craftsmanship, culture, entertainment, tourism and international participation to create an entirely new global experience. Development is underway for the inaugural championship, targeted for 2027.
Explore Kite Wars →Professional transportation, connected differently.
WAYNOIR is a premium transportation platform being developed around professional carriers, high service standards and a more connected approach to black-car transportation. It draws directly on what I've learned operating LuxeAer, while exploring how technology can create opportunities across a broader network of providers. WAYNOIR will launch independently, with the longer-term intention of becoming a Timl-powered experience.

A world of art. One place to discover it.
World Art Finder grew from a problem I've understood for decades: the art world is enormous, international and fascinating — but remarkably fragmented. The platform is being relaunched as a global destination for discovering galleries, museums, art centers, artists, exhibitions and fairs, organized through cultural and geographic Salons.
Explore World Art Finder →Technology increasingly connects much of what I'm building. Not because one venture owns the others — but because each one keeps teaching the next.
Operating a transportation company revealed opportunities that would have been difficult to see from outside the industry.
Years of building online communities shaped how I think about identity, participation and digital spaces.
Decades working with artists, galleries and collectors revealed how fragmented art discovery remains.
Two very different ventures from the same country — one addressing an environmental challenge, the other taking a cultural tradition onto a global stage.
Increasingly, Timl provides the technological foundation through which communities, experiences and specialized ventures can eventually connect.
The most interesting opportunities often appear between industries rather than inside them.
Founded in 2010 as a global online community connecting Haitians and members of the Haitian diaspora. The platform grew to an email audience exceeding 13,000 subscribers and was relaunched in 2025.

Founded in 2000 as Twin River Media, TimlX designs, develops, hosts and maintains digital platforms for entrepreneurs, businesses and nonprofits — and has provided much of the practical technology capability behind my own ventures.
Explore TimlX →Some ideas become companies. Some become projects. Some simply lead to the next idea.
I've learned not to judge every idea by whether it becomes a large business. Sometimes the value is the community it creates. Sometimes it's the problem it teaches me to understand. Sometimes it's the relationship that comes from pursuing it. And sometimes an idea that appears unrelated to everything else becomes the missing piece of something I'm building years later.
That's one reason I keep building.
Some of these ventures are operating businesses. Others are early-stage. A few may evolve in directions I haven't anticipated yet.
That's the nature of building from zero to one — and one of the reasons I still enjoy doing it.
