I grew up in Minnesota, spent the better part of 20 years in Madison, WI and a few years in Chicago before moving out to Seattle. I love it here and likely will always make this my home base.

I want to get every drop out of life. I want to embrace, experience, create this amazing thing that is our canvas.

I love philosophical, intellectual or simply really interesting conversations, and am curious about just about everything.

I've been in business my entire professional career and am now doing my second start up.

I come from a large family and am very close to them. I am used to having roommates.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure what to put here. I love to stretch my thinking. I think anything is possible. Love the book, Thinking Fast and Slow. Think outside the box
