Life

The half of me that isn't on a resume.

Flying

I became a certificated pilot in December 2022, after years of wanting to fly. I moved to Lake Tahoe to train at a Cessna flight school and learned in the Sierra Nevada. I still get up a few times a month with friends and family.

Snowboarding & Skiing

I first learned to ski at age 2 and have loved it ever since. I'm on the mountain 60 or more days a year, and my goal is to snowboard every resort on the West Coast before I turn 40.

Lobo

I adopted Lobo in September 2025. He's the best little mountain companion I could ask for: a goofy Siberian husky who hikes with me all year long in Lake Tahoe.

Charity

I've put in more than 1,000 hours of community service helping low-income children and the elderly, and I donate plasma and platelets regularly with my rare AB+ blood. I volunteer whenever I get the chance.

Building

I love building software in my free time, like Cash Balancer, plus small hacks that make my everyday life, finances and health better.

Education

I took my first college class at 12 at a California college and finished two years of college by 16. I hold a B.S. in Business Entrepreneurship and an M.B.A., both from the University of San Francisco.

Fitness

I love to rock climb, cycle, camp and hike year round. The Lake Tahoe region has endless places for a fun day outside.

Cooking

Average chef. Makes an excellent PB&J and a great grilled cheese.

Things I Believe In

People

We all need to take care of one another, even strangers. It costs $0 to be kind to someone else. If you can help someone, you should, even if they haven't asked. My motto: "Work hard & be nice!"

Planet

One day humans will colonize the solar system and beyond. That's a while off, so until then we need to take care of the planet we have. Leave it better than you found it, as much as you can.

Learning & Acceptance

The world is full of things to learn and cultures different from our own. We should keep learning about others to better understand ourselves.
