    About
    Achievements

    - I exited hedgepoint in late 2018 and have been allocating capital via angel investing with core focus in blockchain and fintech.
    - Thorough understanding of enterprise tech infrastructure. I can architect/design, plan/deploy physical and virtual deployment of applications and servers with security in mind.

    A review:
    "I think you have a great innate ability to connect deep expertise, with the needs at hand, by truly listening for what is the need now; but also being a thought partner in planning for the future. Above all else, you are a trusted, conscientious person who I feel is guided by strong personal values and always aims to do the right thing.

    The trust you’ve build with people was fully earned though consistently holding up promises and an uncompromising work ethic. I would have loved to see you coach and develop junior talent to free you up more and allow your strengths to be more prominent, but also for the positive example you would be to younger folks." - CFO @ PE Firm

    Q&A
    What's the most useful business-related book you've ever read?

    Intelling Investor

    What's your favorite non-business book?

    Siddhartha

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

    Nothing other than what I'm doing now.

    What words of advice would you give your younger self?

    Surround yourself with people you respect and love. Remove yourself from toxicity and negativity.

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

    I'm not sure if problem solving is 'creative'. Unstuck an ATV, I'd say diagnosing a technical computer / server problem is my superpower.

    What words of wisdom do you live by?

    The time is always right to do what is right. ~ MLK, Jr

    What aspects of your work are you most passionate about?

    Problem Solving

    What was the most impactful class you took in school?

    Organic Chemistry

    What's something you wish you had done years earlier?

    Started Angel Investing ;)

    What's an obstacle you've overcome?

    I'd say the biggest obstacle was the language barrier when I immigrated to USA. Not knowing the english language at age 13 created quite a challenging environment. However, participating in sports and quick learning helped me persevere.

    What's your super power?

    Staying calm and collected in chaos.

    Which founders or startups do you most admire?

    The ones that are doing it!
