I help Hack Reactor students produce phenomenal web applications, and work on special projects at the school, including nQ, a grid computing system featured on Wired.com. Once upon a time, I had the honor of being mentored by one of the most titanic journalists ever to walk the earth. I've helped incubate a fair number of charitable projects, and built an event production company with lifelong friends who have since gone on to dominate their industry, revolutinize nature tourism, and build Marriotts.
