I'm a young, ambitious and creative entrepreneur with a drive to build and grow. I possess the street smarts and confidence to change the world. These principles are at the core of my most recent startup: Weeb -a tool that empowers to users to highlight, comment, annotate and draw on existing web pages while browsing. Uniquely you can surf the internet with 3D hand gestures through Weeb when paired with the revolutionary Leap Motion. The dashboard allows users to discover new content as well as share their web experience.

My career started when I Co-founded HeadCase Helmets after taking 1st place in a business plan competition at Syracuse University. HeadCase allows skiers to customize their helmet with options such as Bluetooth, digital camera, and the patented WIG technology. Wireless-Impact Guardian (WIG) recognizes dangerous impacts on the slopes and notifies ski patrol of a crash in emergency situations.

After HeadCase, my business planning skill set landed me in the world famous Empire State Building at MPG. In my time there I was helping young businesses grow and implement new ideas. Part of my responsibilities were to discover inefficiencies and implement solutions.

Realizing a bigger picture and opportunities from MPG, my teammates and I spun off and launched True Media. At this venture I helped grow a consulting firm in the online services and marketing space. Acting as the head of business development I managed and built products to sell to clients which were being consulted. As design and tech startups were at the heart of the firm I became consumed by another concept.

I explained the concept and vision to my friend and colleague with a software engineering background. We began designing and developing the idea. Together we launched my current startup Weeb.
