    Q&A
    What's your favorite non-business book?

    Walden by Henry David Thoreau

    If money were not an issue, what would you be doing right now?

    Mondays off, 3 days of venture design on passion projects, and 3 days of racing cars and travel.

    What's the most creative thing you've ever done?

    The most creative things I do tend to be food-related. I tend to have a kitchen stocked a lot like the set of Chopped. I'm constantly transforming things to work together.

    What's your super power?

    I can eat a lot of tacos...

    What's the best way for people to get in touch with you?

    Smoke signals. Just send me a message on the platform you found me. Let me know what you're looking to discuss. If goals match, I'll message back.

    What words of wisdom do you live by?

    Don't eat yellow snow. “If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat! Just get on.” -- Sheryl Sandberg... Seriously, never turn down an opportunity that can lead you to the stars.
