"Any sensible man makes a living doing what he enjoys." - Alan Watts That quote from Alan Watts is the guiding principle for my career. I'm interested in using my career as an exploration of this question: How can we do what we enjoy, can do well, and can help others while earning a living? I spent 6 years helping to build the Jersey Shore's most popular cocktail lounge from an idea to a thriving social scene. Aer a three month winter sabbatical in 2015 that led me to Europe for the first time, across 20 dierent countries and 24 cities, I decided it was time to challenge myself to explore my interest in technology and entrepreneurship. In the meantime, I've moved to Germany to provide myself the experience of living in a foreign culture, learn a new language, and challenge myself to confront the unknown and uncomfortable. In this time I've become fluent in German and traveled to many new places around Europe. I have a deep love for technology, travel, and contemplative practice. My daily routine includes meditation, writing, reading and long distance running. If my profile sparks your interest, which I hope it does, I'd love to hear from you about how you think I can contribute to your organization.

Solo Backpacking Trip Through Europe

Jan 2015 - Apr 2015

In the winter of 2015 I completed a three month long solo backpacking trip that began in Dublin, Ireland and ended in Belgrade, Serbia. I mention this because it was a positively life-changing experience, and taught me skills that I think are useful in any endeavor. These skills are: Openness to diversity, flexibility in thinking, and self-reliance.
