I’m a 34-year-old entrepreneur based in Austin, Texas. I work at the intersection of technology, business, and innovation. I enjoy talking about startups, AI, leadership, and the lessons that come with building a company from scratch. Sharing ideas, learning from others, and staying curious are what keep me going.
