A typical day in my life includes…
food, water, oxygen, and insanity. Those seem to be the only constants these days in the cannabis industry.
I was born…
an Aries, a middle child, and a Midwesterner.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
that we are our own Time Zone.
I’m listening to…
CHVRCHES.
My family…
is precious.
One thing I cannot live without…
stinky, strong OG’s.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a lawyer and an architect. Both. At the same time.
I’m inspired by…
my clients and colleagues in the cannabis industry who put their blood, sweat, tears, and life savings into creating an industry from scratch, without a blueprint, for the purpose of ending prohibition of a safe substance that brings happiness to so many—and that SAVES LIVES.
The one person who motivates me is…
me. It has taken me a long time to learn that I am ultimately responsible for how much or how little I accomplish and that no one can push me as hard as I push myself.
The perfect day would be…
spent away from a computer screen and immersed in the World.
My first job was…
mowing my neighbors’ yards in Minnesota.
My favorite escape…
lifeguard tower 71, Newport Beach, CA.
I’m currently working on…
two medical dispensaries in the Phoenix Area, two medical dispensaries in Florida, an upcoming presentation for the International Retail Design Conference in Montreal in September, a brand refresh for my business, an exciting new venture with some old friends in the tech and data space, and my tan. Unfortunately, it is my tan that I’m having the most trouble with.
Always…
keep an open mind.
Never…
ever, ever, ever, say never.
Favorite Quote…
“Getting to the top is nothing. It is how you get there that is everything.”
Biggest Dream…
waking up every day with a healthy body, calm mind, peaceful spirit, and love surrounding me. And, recurring streams of revenue from multiple entities.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
left turn arrow stoplights that aren’t on sensors, automatic software updates that never fail to bring your technology to a standstill when you are in a hurry, and poor grammar.
