I was born and grew up in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. For college, I relocated slightly south to the New River Valley. I currently reside and work in Los Angeles, CA.

Since college I’ve worked on startups. First I started Foodzie with two friends from Virginia Tech. We were a TechStars Boulder 2008 company. My second company is just getting off the ground, Tonx Coffee.

When I’m not getting lost in the woods or Los Angeles I’m trying to learn more about business, the web, food, and relaxing with my wonderful wife, Tara.
