Mission
My mission is to transform the world through innovation and entrepreneurship.
Vision
I believe that startups give all people the opportunity to grow, learn, and earn.
I lived and worked in NYC for 14 years where my first career was in finance, second career was sales, and now startups are my third career, based out of Boulder, CO. During my careers, I built out reporting systems, uncovered multi-million dollar reporting errors, earn multiple top sales accolades, and even started a YouTube show about video games. In the startup world, I have helped early stage companies raise angel and venture financing, develop sales & partnerships, and create better pitches.
Through SoftLayer’s Catalyst program, I’m lucky to be uniquely positioned to offer resources, mentorship, and connections to startups. I oversee the Catalyst community development team in the U.S. and Canada, and is an active leader of the global startup community.
I have three amazing sisters (I’m the second oldest) and have deep-rooted family values thanks to my loving parents and wonderful extended family. After my time in NYC, I moved to beautiful Boulder Colorado where I met the lovely and talented, Juliana. We were married on July 22, 2014 and look forward to starting a family. Other than spending quality time wining and dining my wife, I enjoy all things startup, video games, sci-fi, and skiing..
Values
I strive to live by my values every day. They are, in order:
- Communication
- Consistency
- Accountability
