Welcome to my corner of the web.

I am an entrepreneur, investor, and management consultant at EY.

I have an insatiable need to help people and am on a mission to help 1,000 business owners by the end of my career.

I enjoy the sport of business, reading, standup comedy, silent discos, fitness, volunteering, and playing tech support for my grandmother.
