A typical day in my life includes…
Clif bars, engineers, watermelon Rockstars, contracts, meetings, social media, designing boats, Greek food and the never ending flood of phone calls, texts and emails. I love it!
I was born…
in Southern California. After high school I moved to New York City (Harlem & the Bronx), then Utah and now I live in Phoenix.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
is the variety of experiences you can have here. Great food, great events and the people here are very charitable and giving.
I’m listening to…
Gary Vaynerchuk & Muse.
My family…
is the best. I have been blessed to be raised by such amazing parents who’ve always been so supportive.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Elon Musk! Hands down the most creative and visionary entrepreneur of our lifetime, possibly ever.
One thing I cannot live without…
a good game of chess.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a brain surgeon, and then in junior high I wanted to be President. Now I just want to be a creator, anything and everything. ABC: Always Be Creating.

ambitious risk takers and those with focused passion for their craft.
The one person who motivates me is…
Elon Musk, again.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
to create a system where the maximum amount of people would enjoy the maximum amount of freedom.
The perfect day would be…
wakesurfing with friends and hitting a Muse concert, somewhere in Europe.
My first job was…
working for UPS marshalling airplanes at the airport. I can park a 757 like a champ!
My favorite escape…
Lake Powell. Ever wondered what a beautiful lake on Mars would be like? Go to Lake Powell.
My life…
is like a box of chocolates, lol. Despite best efforts I always seemed to eat the gross ones first, then after extensive study and research I learned how to pick the good ones.
I’m currently working on…
a new boat model called the Bravada Tomahawk. We will be launching it very soon and it’s pretty sweet!
Always…
open/hold doors.
Never…
judge people (you’re usually wrong anyway).
Favorite Quote…
“The path of least resistance leads to crooked rivers and crooked men” – Henry David Thoreau.
