I'm obsessed with learning, growing, and pushing boundaries

I'm obsessed with learning, growing, and pushing boundaries

I live and breathe early-stage growth, but my passion for pushing limits extends far beyond work. As a hybrid athlete, I’m equally obsessed with fitness, personal development, and exploring the edges of what’s possible in every area of life. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me working out, reading, or immersing myself in a new culture—I’ve visited over 40 countries and lived in four. These experiences have taught me that, no matter our backgrounds, we all share the same core desires: to grow, connect, and find meaning in what we do. But I’ve also learned that growth often comes from discomfort—whether it’s navigating a new environment, or tackling challenges that feel bigger than you. That understanding shapes how I approach both business and life: leaning into discomfort, helping others unlock their potential, and pushing myself beyond what feels safe.

Curiosity, growth, and health are my core values, and they drive everything I do. Teaching and mentoring fuel me—there’s nothing more rewarding than helping others unlock their potential and watching them grow. I nerd out over building systems, football ⚽️, fitness, and nutrition. I’m also an obsessive reader—constantly learning, iterating, and striving to perfect my craft. Growth, for me, isn’t just about achieving milestones; it’s about the connections I make along the way and the impact I create. That’s what keeps me moving forward—whether it’s building startups, mentoring future leaders, or testing my limits in the arena.
