I’m a startup entrepreneur that thinks a lot about building valuable communities. I co-founded a company called Foodtree.

I’ve shared thoughts in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, FastCompany, Read Write Web, Mashable, Small Biz Trends, Inc, Portfolio, and elsewhere.

I was born on the East Coast, but I’ve lived in the Chicagoland area most of my life.  I moved to Vancouver, Canada.  I spent the first twenty-two years of my life as a soccer player, with two trips to the NCAA National Championships at Stanford.

I’ve got two sisters who blow me away and two parents I feel deep gratitude for. I have friends and an extended family that light up my world.
