  Welcome to my personal web site. This is where I am keeping interesting facts and thoughts throughout my life. The purpose of this web site is three fold:

  » Track my personal and professional progress.
  
  I have been featured in a few local and national publications. The biggest of which is in BusinessWeek, where it featured my drive to start my first company.
