FULL BIO

Young and aspiring professional and entrepreneur incubating at Stanford University in the hub of Silicon Valley. Currently a full-time student with a vision and a dream, putting his hands on everything that interests him and learning as much as he can from the projects and the people that he interacts with. Coming from a less fortunate background, he has been in the job force since he was 14 and has worked more hours than his peers with 10+ employers. He considers himself lucky. He possesses a strong work ethic and an attitude that makes the best from what he is given, and creates miracles from what he lacks. His experiences are in sales, education, consulting, and social media. His interests are in startups, venture capital, investing, web tech, and finance. He is a leader in Stanford’s pre-business, entrepreneurship, investment, and social entrepreneurship / non-profit circles. Staying involved in the community in the process, Ricky ultimately seeks to make a positive impact as a leader and supporter of the community. He is passionate, and appreciates every opportunity to learn and grow. Please get in touch with him on YouNoodle or at ryean@stanford.edu
