I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a 26 year old social entrepreneur. Early in my life I became aware of society’s imbalanced equation of opportunity to ability. Be it in struggles on the path to education, entrepreneurship, social justice or community and health services our nation’s poor citizens are disadvantaged. With both my social venture Naked Chicken and my non-profit, Culture Connections I strive with the support of my family, team, sponsors and community partners to correct the scales. Please click on the images below to check out my web sites. All feedback is welcome.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Those who feel my mission and those that can help further the cause. Additionally, of course any positive person.
