Hey guys, it's a pleasure to e-meet you. So you want to learn a little more about me? I'll try my best to give you a good snapshot of who I am.

If I could describe myself in one sentence I would tell you that I'm an entrepreneur who loves meeting new people, traveling, staying active, making things, and watching TED talks.

I was born and raised in San Diego, California. Growing up I was always very inquisitive and I tried my hardest to soak up all the knowledge around me. I loved playing with LEGO's and in sixth grade I joined the "LEGO Mindstorms Robotic team". Right there was where my teacher taught me one of the most valuable lessons ever. Improvise.

Oh I didn't have the right pieces for the project? Improvise. We were stuck? Improvise. The other team had better equipment? Improvise. We couldn't use the right coding structure? Improvise.

It's a lesson that has helped me get out of tight spots for all of my life. It's added motivation to reach for new heights. It has shown me that anything is possible with a little ingenuity. It's part of who I am.

I founded Young And CEO to power up entrepreneurs because I love startups and the freedom to pursue your passion. I do some pretty interesting things on the internet from time to time as well.

My personal philosophy:

1. Don't promise anything you can't deliver

2. You are what you do

3. Have no regrets

4. Take time to get to know people

5. Pursue passions, not paychecks

6. Don't take yourself too seriously

7. Do something everyday that frightens you

8. Read. A lot
