I was born…
May 16, 1986 in Phoenix, AZ
My favorite thing about Arizona…
freedom and open spaces, weather
I’m listening to…
anything acoustic, Imagine Dragons, One Republic, Zac Brown Band, The Bravery, and Dierks.
My family…
means everything to me. I still talk to my parents every day. Sister is married with two children who have changed my life. My family is my inspiration for the whole business concept. I love happiness and family.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Richard Branson, Elon Musk, Robert Downey Jr.
One thing I cannot live without…
sunshine, friends and family.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
the next Michael Jordan.
I’m inspired by…
Steve Jobs.
The one person who motivates me is…
my best friends. We’ve formed a group called the Tao of Man – the way of man. To grow each other, hold each other accountable. Talk. Keep in touch. Support.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
the hatred of the world by those who don’t understand one another. Eliminate the poverty of the world through education, and clean water for all.
The perfect day would be…
wake up and kiss my future wife, go for a sunrise run, spend the morning on an outdoors adventure, spend the afternoon serving others who can do nothing for me, and then spend the evening with my closest friends and family before going off to bed with the one I love.
My first job was…
my first official job was an engineering summer internship before my freshman year of college.
My favorite escape…
one hundred miles an hour through the desert on a dirt bike / motorcycle.
My life…
is a blend of a profound personal life in a business world of complete uncertainty and absolute risk. Its purpose is to bring my dreams to reality and eliminate boundaries of the status quo. With a responsibility to create the best quality of life possible for myself and the people that are close to me.
I’m currently working on…
my business leadership and the execution of this company.
Always…
make time for the people you love.
Never…
sacrifice your family, your heart, or your dignity. Never let making a living prevent you from making a life.
Favorite Quote…
“Do not follow in the footsteps in the masters. Seek what they sought”.
Biggest Dream…
a wise man once told me “never tell everything you know…” My biggest dream will require a separate article of its own someday.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
I can’t stand drivers that weave in and out of traffic, endangering people’s lives only to end up right next to me at the next red light. Guys in the gym who do bicep curls in the squat rack, especially when their arms are twice the size of their legs… come on man. Anyone who’s rude to waitresses, waiters, or anyone providing a service.
