I never planned on a career in business. I wanted to be an artist, but that changed when I built School Simplified into a 200,000-member student nonprofit. By 19, it had grown to be the world’s largest student run nonprofit with a team of 500.

What followed was an obsession with building, with a few years of diving into early-stage startups, co-founding a sports app, and running growth. None of it came from a master plan, it came from learning by doing.

My love is, getting people to show up. I’m good at founder stories and launches, community events, and automating the hell out of it.

If you’re building something and want help with any of that, let’s chat! Read my full story in here.
