I'm an investor and entrepreneur. I am curious by nature, always looking for new ways to learn about the world around me. I love to meet new people, talk about the world and get my hands dirty with things that fascinate me. I like investing in startups that are solving problems in areas that fascinate me. I want to be part of a team with passion and drive who can help build something great together. A few of my favorite things: 1. Insatiably curious about the world around me, I never seem to get enough about learning everything. 2. As an investor and entrepreneur, I am always thinking about what's next for people like us (and how we can help make it happen). 3. As a sales and operations specialist, I've seen firsthand the impact that others have had on our companies’ success—from managing logistics and operations to building better relationships with customers—and it makes me want to do all that much more!
