I grew up in the Midwest but left that behind for an education on the East Coast, where I attended schools in Boston and Washington D.C. My love of the mountains and the desert eventually brought me to the Southwest and started on my entrepreneurial path.
I am an avid mountain climber along with my wife, Melissa, and we have scaled the summits of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and Mount Orizaba in Mexico.
We have one daughter who has flown the coop for the (greener?) pastures of New York City.
