Personal Details

Bio

When I was 11 years old my spinal cord was attacked by a virus that left me partially paralyzed from the diaphragm down. I’m grateful for such a unique challenge in life as it has set me apart from others in a big way. Using a wheelchair and crutches doesn’t stop me from pursuing my passions and has given me the experiences I needed to learn how to succeed in a world designed by pedestrians.

THE FORMATIVE YEARS

I’ve been developing my work ethic since early high school. I always had at least two major projects going on at once. I was a consistent competitor in University Interscholastic League tournaments specializing in One Act Play, Prose/Poetry Reading, and Extemporaneous Speaking. My evenings were spent in theater rehearsals and my weekends at speech and debate tournaments.

My Junior and Senior year I competed at the national level in the National Forensic League for Oratory, Humorous Interpretation, and Prose Reading.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

My love for entrepreneurship and passion towards multimedia storytelling has lead me to positions like Creative Art Director, Business & Marketing Strategist, and Serial Entrepreneur.

Since 2009 I've been a co-founder of two businesses and they both still exist today. I've sold one business and am still an active partner in the other. I've lead teams to success in business planning, strategic digital marketing development, creative marketing campaign development, and much more.

My mission is to empower those who are inspiring others. These are leaders within all types of organizations including both nonprofit and for-profit teams.
