I can juggle, and have frequently used it as a means to make bets and win for fun. Bunsen burners were my favorite item to juggle (unlit of course) to get a bit of extra credit in high school.

My longest and most true role model has been my father. A degreed mechanical engineer and self-taught computer engineer, he started his own business in CRM software the year I was born. Working for myself is just in my blood. Watching and learning first-hand the enjoyment and struggle that is associated with entrepreneurship has been a blessing. I also had one boss very early on, that still to this day, has me searching for anyone like him. He taught me the value of working in the shadows to get the job done, laughing it off when someone is trying to serve you the 'shit sandwich', and how to bravely lead with the steadfast mentality that your employees are your #1 priority.

I am passionate about helping others on their journey through entrepreneurship. What better place to support that community than Seattle?!
