About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Objective: See world, love people, get along with all good people

ABOUT ME

Hey all, pretty chill / but also very motivated guy. Like to do things at a fast pace except when in California or in warm climates. I love the California Coast, I would marry it if I could.. and maybe under current laws there I could..?

Creative mindset, but I like to get things done. Worked in big bad business world for past four years, just took last ~6mo's to galavant around the world.. about to start grad school at HBS

Just got back from Nepal where I was hiking in the Himalayas!

Teach, Learn, Share
