I was born and raised in Boise, ID, the land of potatoes and the smurf turf; but I currently live in Taipei, Taiwan. After finishing my degree at Arizona State University I served as a Digital Marketing Intern at Modern Luxury Media in Los Angeles, CA. After helping Modern Luxury launch their new website I pursued a position with an online game startup in Taiwan called SNSplus, a company that specializes in online social game publishing. In just three years, I helped build this company from a small one office startup with only a few games to a 250 employee multi office company with more than 40 games published worldwide. After my first year I was assigned to build a branch office in Bangkok alongside our cofounder to develop deeper operations within our highest earning market. Not only did we succeed but we were able to secure a $13 million round of funding from an investment group led by Intel Taiwan.

I am an avid sports fan, especially American Football, and a diehard Minnesota Vikings fan. In my spare time I love to scuba dive and living in Asia has provided me the chance to dive at some of the most remote dive spots in the world. In fact, every time I plan a vacation I find myself researching my next great diving adventure. Please feel free to check out my Whale Shark video I posted! I am nearly fluent in Mandarin Chinese and can read and write more than 5,000 characters. I have been studying everyday for the last two years at a local University in Taipei City.
