In My Own Words
Personal and professional development is a continuous goal that I strive towards daily. Working with and meeting like-minded investors and entrepreneurs inspires me to step outside of my comfort zone to grow and push myself and others to new levels daily.
Insane work ethic combined with a ridiculously positive attitude and growth mindset.
Dual Masters degrees in Marketing & Integrated Marketing Communications.
Outdoor action sports, adventure, music, and travel enthusiast with a penchant for aesthetics and design, creativity, and acute attention to detail. Experience developing comprehensive integrated marketing strategies and maintaining small business digital media presence and communications.
Expert snowboarder and experienced musician (drums) having competed and performed both locally and internationally.
MISSION: My ultimate goal is to create a lifestyle by design that is marked by the true financial and time freedom that many desire, but few actually achieve, so that I can have the biggest and best impact on my family, friends, community, and the world around me. My passion lies in helping as many people as possible do the exact same thing along the way. The future is built brick by brick with relentless and consistent organized effort.
