On a renaissance journey.

Worked a corporate gig for the better part of the last decade of my life. At a point in my life, where I realized that there are greater, more meaningful aspects than a paycheck, and that success can take many forms.

At a riper age of 32, I have become deeply inquisitive about the world around me, not only the diversity of the physical landscapes, but the individuals and cultures that occupy them, and what lessons and perspectives can be learned from stepping out of my everyday comforts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The action that took the most courage for me to do was leave a corporate career that I spent many years creating.

Stepping away from that into the unknown frightens me, but also brings an excitement to life I have not felt in a long time.

Teach, Learn, Share

To me, teaching and sharing are one in the same. In order to properly teach about a topic, whether academic or anecdotal, you need to share your innermost thoughts. That being said, I am willing to talk about and teach what I believe to be the hardest lessons I have learned about money, friendship, dreams, and success.

I am willing to learn anything, everybody has a story to tell, and that's what keeps driving me to get into as many conversations as I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My life is an open book.

I think the most important thing anyone can share is a willingness to be vulnerable and to throw away your preconceived notions and genuinely connect with others.

Also, I'm always willing to buy the first round, sharing a drink, a good meal, and ultimately a laugh is what I can deliver.

In the near future, I hope I can host also, and show people around Seattle.
