Entrepreneurial leader accomplished in building and guiding teams to solve complex, intractable, and unprecedented problems. Focused on developing people and nurturing good ideas. Forged and stewarded the vision and cultivated believers to a cause, whether as a Peace Corps volunteer fostering sustainable development in Panama, or as a founding member of a startup-cum-breakaway business.
I've lived and worked in: Chicago, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Washington D.C., Oregon, Iowa, and currently Madison, WI. I'm interested in International Business and Affairs, Sustainability, Economic and Infrastructure Development, Gender Equality, and access to education - and I've considered future academic studies in AI, Robotics, Business Administration, comparative, international, or intellectual property law. I was born and raised in Nebraska, and met my wife at Iowa State University where we were both studying. We now travel extensively, and are passionate about connecting with new cultures, experiencing the outdoors, and our rescue dogs.
