I like to say I’m blessed and cursed to be infinitely curious. There are an unlimited number of interesting problems in the World and so much to learn.
I grew up around my dad’s small business (a mattress manufacturing company) and caught the entrepreneurial “bug.” Never to be without a “side hustle,” I started my first businesses in high school and a couple others through college and the start of my professional career.
These companies ranged from importing sporting goods to custom-built computing systems to a family of media properties. These projects were a fun way to learn (and make a little money along the way).
I also grew up helping build and fly airplanes and I have a deep passion for flying things. I started my career as an Engineer at Boeing after graduating from the University of Minnesota (B.S. Aerospace Engineering) before making the jump into startups full-time.
A few things I’ve worked on recently:
