Born and raised in Chicago. I started my first company in 2005, a small technology consulting firm, servicing clients across many verticals doing web design/development as well as hosting services. In 2018 I started a lifestyle apparel brand and e-commerce company that has become a passion project for me. I crave the entrepreneurial process. Creating a company, or even a single product, from something that started out as a scribble on a whiteboard is extremely satisfying to me.
I run the Chicago Marathon every year for PAWS Chicago, an animal rescue organization here in the city that is committed to making Chicago a no-kill city. Avid hockey player/fan. Been playing since I was 10, played some college, now its just for the house league glory. Dogs, hockey and travel make me happy. Vegetarian since 2014 and never looking back. Animal welfare is very important to me.
