The story
Walsall to California, with a few detours
I grew up in and around Walsall, England — British through and through, but with Indian heritage that shaped how I see the world. Stories, warmth, food, family. That combination never left me.
I am married to Nastacia and between us we have 4 grown kids, Tatum, Sage, Arabella (newly adopted) and Kieran. We are also parents of two crazy cats; Nola(kai) and Blu.
My career took me deep into healthcare IT. For the past several years I've been in senior sales and business development at Innovaccer, working on population health and value-based care. It's complex, important work — the kind that quietly changes how millions of people receive care.
But I've always built on the side. BluKai LLC is my holding company for the ventures I can't stop myself from starting. Apps that solve real problems. Tools for families, pet owners, salons, and employers who want to invest in their people's wellbeing.
The project I'm most proud of right now is Seven Lives — a Cold War novel I've been co-authoring based on the real life of Lt. Colonel Robert Sandstrom. It's history, humanity, and a story that needed to be told.
