I’m an entrepreneur. I studied industrial design and entrepreneurship at the Ohio State University. After spending the 5 years in the entrepreneurship space I have decided to step away from this path. I am embarking on a journey of a self discovery and exploration to Colorado. My goal is to connect and meet some locals and find a place to live for January.

This trip is all about meeting new people, learning about the local scenes and discovering what amazing things the rest of the world has to offer. I have no desire to stay in hotels or big fancy resorts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went through a 9 month procedure to lengthen my left left. I personally had to crank 8 dials 4x a day to stretch my leg.

This trip will be by far the most amazing thing I have ever done!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - anything up my alley of expertise as talked about above

Learn - I am a sponge and want to learn as much as I can about things around where I couch surf and the people and stay with.

Share - I have some crazy stories of my time in the entrepreneurship scene over the past 5 years.
