After serving 5 years in the US Navy as a Diesel Mechanic, I realized I wanted to pursue entrepreneurship. Since then, June 2011, I've had the opportunity to work with really great people on some interesting businesses and projects. You can see a few of them below. There are many that were fun weekend hacks that didn't quite become something tangible. I'm happy to have landed 4 years later at Mattermark as the Business Development Manager, where I'll be forging new data partnerships and building up the existing ones with data partners around the world. I'll also be helping grow the Mattermark community of companies, investors, entrepreneurs, and more as the Editor and curator of the Mattermark Daily newsletter.
