I've spent most of my career investing heavily in my own development on both a professional and a personal level. My objective is a lifelong pattern of learning that will allow me to continue to push the limits of my abilities. I am inspired by ideas that challenge the status quo and that influence positive social change. I want to meet smart people that challenge my views, expand my understanding of the world, and help me grow.Problem Solving: I've developed a pattern of problem solving over the course of two decades, that consistently produces results. Whether it's Venture Capital, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Retail, Restaurant or Startups, I've immersed myself in the struggles of these industries and provided valuable solutions to them.Relationship Building: All relationships are built through trust and Trust=Behavior+Time. In sales, time is in short supply so there is a need to shortcut this process. The right shortcuts pay big dividends while the wrong ones bring stiff penalties. My network is one tool to create trust and I've built it by being authentic, diligent, and generous.Community Building: I thrive on creating authentic connections. I live to be present, to listen, to learn, and to understand. A blend of curiosity and intention pushes me to explore that which is unfamiliar and to build bridges instead of walls. Leadership: Regardless of task, I will be handed more responsibilities. From the workplace to video games, from volunteering to backyard barbecues, when help is needed I answer the call. I've served as both a formal leader and an informal leader. I am most proud of the latter. When people are willing to trust and to follow someone without a title, when there isn't a requirement, it's the ultimate validation of someone's ability. Cultural Index: My profile in this assessment matches a Rainmaker. I run high on autonomy, social skills, and pace. For more information, visit https://www.cindexinc.com/.
