I am a creative writer who started a patent-pending crowdfunding company with a few friends. At LobbitUp, our fundraising platform, I run daily operations, social media, and tell our brand story. We are bootstrapped, embracing the Lean Startup philosophy, but we may be looking for investment capital in the near future.

I am passionate about helping organizations with their fundraising needs and guiding them on how to tell a compelling story for their brand.

As a social entrepreneur, I measure success not only by an increased bottom line but by investment into others' lives and organizations. I believe in paying it forward, in helping without always the concern of ROI, and trying to positively transform society one idea at a time.

When I'm not at the office, I'm surfing with my two sons or volunteering at my church and other nonprofits. I love to read about business, leadership and politics; screenplays and good fiction.

Please reach out to me with any thoughts about storytelling, branding, startup culture, B2B collaboration, or just to say hi.
