Operations
Hi!
I was born and raised in the Pacific North West, and earned my first degree in Management of Information Systems. My career began at the national telephone company, where I helped launch a paid customer support service similar to Geek Squad. That experience with intrapreneurship—entrepreneurship within an established organization—taught me the importance of understanding financials. Wanting to deepen my expertise, I pursued a second degree in Accounting while working full-time.
After completing my accounting degree, I transitioned into public practice, where I spent several years conducting audits for a wide range of businesses, from small family-owned stores to publicly traded multinational mining companies. It was a great learning experience, but living in the Pacific Northwest came at a cost—rain, and lots of it. After enduring eight consecutive weeks of rain, I was encouraged by friends in the Bay Area to explore new opportunities in a booming job market. A short visit in the bright beautiful sunshine, led to a quick decision to relocate to California!
Shortly after moving, I met my future wife, and together, we’ve built a life in the suburbs east of San Francisco. Today, we share our home with our two children, who serve as both my greatest motivation and my deepest source of joy.
