What inspired you to pursue this path?
I’m from a small town that only knows one way of living. I spent all my time trying to learn how to live differently from everyone I saw growing up.
What’s the biggest professional risk you’ve taken?
Leaving a company I helped start and forgoing half of my shares to move to LA and work at Elevator was a pretty large risk. It was extremely scary, but it felt great to take such a risk and dive right in. I think it’s safe to say my biggest risk was also one of my best.
What has been your most satisfying moment in business?
There’s been a lot. The biggest is every time I’ve closed large deals that change the health of our company. There’s nothing more satisfying than knowing I’m having an impact on the work we do each day.
