Happy, ambitious, always learning and always trying to improve. I love reading, exploring new pubs and wine bars, thoughtful conversations (especially about philosophy, humans, politics...), and ultimate frisbee! I want to have as large of a positive impact on the world as I can. Some random happenings in my life to get a little color about my background: - Born in October 1984 in Wisconsin - Kindergarten woke up to a cow grazing on my front lawn. That's an accurate representation of my hometown in Wisconsin - 6th grade decided my life dream was to become a wildlife park ranger. I emailed the University of Idaho President to ask for admission to their prestigious park ranger program. He told me to stop emailing him. - High school I got suspended for playing chess during study hall due to the "no games allowed" policy. I found this absurd and took it to the school-board. The rule is now: "No games during study hall except chess." - College attended a small liberal arts college called Ohio Wesleyan, spent a year at Oxford studying British pubs and loving dry brit humour - Post-college, Traveled to Africa and did wildlife conservation research in Zimbabwe, then went to Kenya and did HIV research - Attended Stanford business school to stay warm - Went back to Africa to South Africa to work in Venture Capital - Started a company in India - Now working on a company to help people learn more, be happier and become excellent in their careers
