I view the world through a different lens than most. I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs and ever since I can remember, I have always set out to accomplish a single goal. Pursue experiences and knowledge that would help me better myself as a business professional and individual along the way. As a kid everything seemed so clear. My creativity seemed endless and combined with an inquisitive mind made the world seem boundless with opportunities.An extra chore cleaning the kitchen, - sign me upA craft project that would shock the Fine Art world - StupéfiantBuying a box of early 1980 basketball card (the ones with those paper wax wrappers) in the fourth grade and selling them at school - $$Some of these ideas paned out and other "not so much", but it never deterred me from trying something new. The drive and passion to find that one overlooked opportunity only grew stronger as I discovered new hobbies, started new positions in different careers, and followed any semi-interesting idea down the rabbit hole. I say of all this to boil down to the essences, of who I am as a person. I enjoy the pursuit of building something from nothing, learning and growing in my career, and most importantly the fierce pursuit of bringing creativity and “out of the box” thinking to whatever project I am working on. I have known both failure and great success, but I know for certain I will always strive towards capturing that childhood wonder that inspired me so many years ago in everything that I do.
