    About
    Achievements

    I like to move fast.
    Pulled off an MBA and BS degrees in 4 combined years of higher education.
    First startup was a solar developer we founded, funded, and exited in ~9 months
    Ran a self-funded small business acquisition venture that searched and closed in ~4 months, tripled the business and fully modernized in ~2 years, and I still serve as co-owner.

    I work well solo and self-directed with a well-formulated definition of success, but teams are more fun.
    I tend to work on a rapid explore-execute cycle.
    I loath bureaucracy and get-everyone-on-board-for-the-900th-time-meetings.
    I like to start with first principles.
    My brain is hard-wired to think... 'what is the most efficient way to do x' - and then to go do it
