"The will to win is important, but the will to prepare yourself to win... the will to pay the price to become a winner, is what separates champions from the rest". The price that I paid was giving up the sport of football because of a potential serious injury. This decision was the hardest one I ever had to make because I had played football for over 15 years. Losing one of my passions made me work harder in other areas of my life. This brings me to my studies at CWRU. I have expanded my knowledge in finance as well as entrepreneurship to pursue my interests in Venture Capital and Private Equity. I enjoy finding new products or projects that will create value, with the hope that I can create one of my own ventures in the future.
