About Me

I’ve lived in Nashville almost my whole life, but I've lived in CA, CO, VA, and OH. Nash Vegas is home though. I’m very passionate about music, film, and humanitarian efforts. I’ve worked in just about every field known to man, but my focus seems to always be in business consulting, marketing, and technology. One of my favorite quotes is, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain - In March I'm going to Rwanda for two months to work on an economic development project. That's pretty much my dream come true.

My Interests

Music, Film, Kickboxing, Business Development, Working Out, Philosophizing, Rock Climbing, Beaches, Friends, Family, The Beach, etc. My kickboxing is definitely the most important activity outside of work and humanitarian projects. I love it. I’m definitely a people person. I am passionate about Africa and do a lot of work there.
