About
(I'm going to start this bio like most bios start– with a childhood memory)
Growing up, my mom always told me "Only stupid people get bored." Well, MOM, if I'm not mistaken, that sounds like a challenge (she always knew how my mind worked– that gem). So, at a very young age, I learned that curiosity was the best form of entertainment.
That curiosity led me through some amazing experiences so far. Diverse, but amazing nonetheless.
Engineering X-ray scanners, Developing manufacturing automation systems, Designing surfboard fins, Sunglasses, Snowboard goggles, and now Backpacks and Accessories.
(The order may sound random, but I swear there is a method to my madness)
I just want to make rad stuff with cool people! If you're interested in working on something together, or doing anything fun for that matter, please reach out, I'd love to chat!
