My experiences are as broad as my life has allowed, moving from one adventure to the next. I've served as Chief Technology Officer for Jason's Deli, studied physics at the Colorado School of Mines, climbed unnamed peaks in the Kunlun mountain range north of Tibet, played collegiate baseball and caddied full time on the PGA Tour. I strive to live my life to the fullest and to make the most of the opportunities as they have presented themselves. I aim to help others do the same and realize the potential that is in all of us.
