"What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him."

- Viktor Frankl's (Man's Search for Meaning)

Personally, I'm a hardworking, creative, problem-solving individual. If you have an issue, I'll be sure to help you think through it and try to come to a solution. On the flip side, if you have an idea, I'll be sure to find all the intricacies in the idea. If there's success to be made, I'll make sure to help you find it! Beyond that, I'm an individual dedicated to helping people pursue their ideas and creativity. I find that as time goes forward many individuals lose their creativity and tend to follow the beaten path. I think, as business students, we ought to forge our own path, whether it's by innovating the world with a startup or helping those who will innovate. My goal is to pursue such methods and hope many others do as well.

As for my background, I'm a sophomore student studying Finance, LEAD, and minoring in Economics. As for my VC history, I began a startup called NetGames out of Washington DC, the startup worked well for - 2 years. During that time, I met many different individuals in VC, entrepreneurship, and other well reputed work lines. Currently you may see me around SPEA or in the Kelley halls, so say hi and we'll strike up a conversation.
