* Background
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I have always been fascinated by technology and business. I've always loved building
things since I can remember; probably from playing with legos. When I was 10 years old,
my father left the corporate world to purse the entreprenuerial spirit and started an auto shop. I remeber helping out
with the little things - helping file paper work, answering the phone, and greeting customer - but little did I know, this is where my
interest in business really started.
When I got my first computer in middle school, I was introduced to the world of gaming, technology, and programming.
While attending university, I spent most of my summers gaining valuable work experience and it was then I really came to
understand the impact I can have if I leverage technology. I slowly added computer science and mathematics courses on
top of my finance degree to fuel my passion. The cross section of these disciplines would serve me well into my
professional career.
