About

I went from the front of a high school classroom to the front of a conference room. No matter the arena, my values remain the same: be true to yourself, prioritize people, always learn something, give more than get, and have fun. I identify as a story teller, an early adopter of technology, and someone who loves to stay up-to-date on all conversations worthy of the water cooler. I aspire to create things that make life better for consumers and to help individuals reach their highest potential. The foundation of my career can be credited to Camp Kesem, a nonprofit organization, where I was able to see how the hard work of a small team can better the lives of thousands of people. I've also had the honor to work for world class businesses such as Red Bull, P&G, HP, and Under Armour where I learned how products can leverage a great brand to increase revenue. My experience with startups, such as Missouri.com, Spiceworks and The Hustle, provided me firsthand experience with fast-growth companies that are later acquired. In addition to my career, I give back to my key causes of cancer and children. In particular, I support Camp Kesem and LIVESTRONG. If I’m not focused on what’s above, you’ll catch me on the golf course or eating good barbecue in Austin, TX!
