Professional Story

Born into the 4th generation of a multi-national manufacturing and distribution business, PEER Bearing, taking a "vacation" meant going on sales trips with my dad. Going to grandma's meant calculating stock ratios. My mind was always on business and doing something big.

College was all about making money and finding freedom -- trading stocks and crypto. That got me into tech, which led to me founding a software startup in 2017.​ That led to me getting a job.

 

I couldn't resist my entrepreneurial nature. In 2025, I cofounded my current company, Vault.
