I’m a thinker. A doer. A problem-solver. A learner. A student. A teacher.A listener. An advocate. A friend.I lead. And I follow.I have zero tolerance for bullshit, posing, and posturing. But, if you’re honest and upfront with me, I’m extremely open and patient—probably to a fault.I’m creative. An inner nerd. A question-asker. An assumption-tester. An entrepreneur.I was the kid who kept pestering and asking his parents “why?” (much to their chagrin). They really could have used Google back then.I question norms. I seek simplicity. I champion transparency.I love music. I love books. I love cooking.I love all types of athletic endeavors. I believe a good sweat is often the best-prescribed elixir for many of the stresses we face in this life. And that nothing is better when pedaling than a song that literally makes your head unconsciously bob or fingers unknowingly tap.I’m persistent. Like, really, really persistent. I can grind. But I’ll always be looking for the efficient solution. Because grinding for the sake of grinding… well, why?We have one life to live. I believe in living it. Exuberantly.I enjoy meeting new people; I look forward to knowing you.And for those of you who prefer a resume-type bio:Highly accomplished business and legal professional with in-depth experience running technology ventures as well as counseling SMBs and multinational corporations as outside general counsel in both transactional and litigation matters.
