BIO

My life's mission is not to be the smartest person in the room, but rather to make the room smarter. As the son of two educators, learning and curiosity is in my DNA. My learning style is also to learn by teaching others, allowing me to completely internalize concepts or expose gaps in my knowledge to shore up. I'm a budding futurist who has plied my talents primarily in strategy, marketing, startups, and e-commerce.

I enjoy the excitement of anything on-the-fly and my friends would describe me as "over-prepared."
