Orlando, Florida, United States
I have been running small businesses for over 5 years now, which have continued the learning and growth from decades of experience and life lessons from amazing companies ranging from a family farm to the #1 U.S. government contractor in the world. Through both good and challenging times, every day brings with it new opportunities to learn, teach, shape, and live life, of which my career will always be an important part of. Currently I am a part of an amazing effort to revolutionize an entire product line of the entertainment industry, and helping to bring to the world a new evolution of "technotainment" that has built upon every bit of skill that partners in the company have honed over their own careers, in addition to my own. I am also the President and CEO of a 501c3 Nonprofit company that will always focus on giving back to the community that has enabled us to prosper, especially to the K-12 demographic for any and all education focused on STEM and cutting-edge research. It has been an excellent professional life so far, and I hope we are able to work together in the future as the next chapters unfold.
