FULL BIO
I only believe in working on things that will make a deep and meaningful impact on the world. I only work with people who are incredibly positive, have ferocious ambition and are motivated by having something to prove. I've had some success, and failure, but have never lost sight of what i want. End goal: Be a successful serial entrepreneur, and build (at least one, preferably more) lasting, enduring businesses worth over $1Bn.
