I was born and raised in a small town in western New York where I graduated high school and attended the local community college. I've always been fascinated with business and knew at a very young age that's what I wanted to pursue. Thinking I would be working for a large international corporation (banking) I studied abroad in Nanjing, China where I picked up some Mandarin.It wasn't until I moved to Washington D.C. and landed a "big boy" job for a Marketing firm that I realized I have two options; stay and work for someone else's dream or leave and work for my own dreams. It was the best decision of my life to leave and start working towards my own destiny, LuxSynergy. I'm a firm believer in learning from real world experiences so here I am learning the ins and outs of my business. I might make mistakes along the way but at least they're my mistakes and I've learned from them.
