I love to learn and I love to build. Bold new ideas excite me and I want to put them into practice. I see my career as a series of ideas built to fruition and scale. I want to make an impact and I believe creating self-sustaining for-profit businesses is the best way to make an ongoing impact. I believe entrepreneurship is an incredible process that creates value, ideas, jobs, and products. It is a big reason why the US is such an amazing country.

I have built three successively larger businesses and am now focused on building the next one, a really exciting Ed Tech startup that uses games to help teachers teach in the classroom. I also act as an angel investor on the side.

I am incredibly thankful for Duke University, which provided my undergraduate and graduate education, and for the Baltimore community, which provided a fantastic childhood. I hope to be able to give back to both communities.
