I'm a lifelong entrepreneur with a strong drive for personal growth, a desire for both myself and those around me. If we're not growing, we're dying.Obsessed with efficiency, I'm very good at understanding the value in processes and improving upon them, and my inner geek dictates that my decisions are data driven. However, a good leader has to have a high level of emotional intelligence, and must look inward for growth to be reflected on the outside. I look for meaning in every task and the value it brings to the whole.At my core, I'm a creative and a starter. I love putting in the sweat needed to make something out of raw clay, and I tend to get bored if I lose the ability to impact something in a meaningful way, which is exactly why I do what I do. This gives me a natural want to pivot, fork, or improve -- it takes many iterations to get something of value.I love startups and their unique environment. Reach out to me just for coffee, or if I can help in any way. I've received so much along my journey I'm always happy to pay it forward.
