Beyond Work
I am an aspiring polyglot with a passion for learning and adventure, which has driven me to build and scale startups over the past 10+ years. After selling my first startup, I embraced a new adventure by living in southern Spain, where I volunteered at a local dog rescue.
My wife and I now reside in Los Angeles, where I continue to pursue my varied interests. I love working with my hands, particularly in crafting custom wooden furniture. Additionally, I am a pilot of the Cessna 172 Skyhawk aircraft, enjoying the freedom and perspective that flying brings.
Currently, I am working on an exciting weekend project: bringing a patented design for surfing footwear to market in collaboration with one of the co-founders of TOMS Shoes.
Outside of work, my life is enriched by my family, my dedication to continuous learning, and my drive to explore new horizons.
