The Goddard School of Georgetown (MorningStar)

Bios

• Pinak

  As a father of two Team USA swimmers, I understand how the right environment helps children flourish. This inspired me to leave my tech career as a Business Intelligence Developer and invest in The Goddard School. My background in technology and event planning (organizing large-scale galas) taught me to create meaningful experiences and solve complex challenges. With my wife being a former elite swimmer, our family knows that growth happens when children feel supported and celebrated. I'm passionate about play-based learning because I've seen how it builds confidence alongside friendships. My mission is creating a space where learning feels like play, where children explore and discover, and where families feel truly supported. Whether at the mountains with my family or here at school with yours, I'm committed to fostering joy through meaningful connections and new discoveries.
