I've built several businesses in my day with varying degrees of success. They all had two things in common. Number one, they were born from an idea I fell in love with.

My family is relentlessly competitive. Some of my earliest memories were of my father’s victory dances when he beat his 8-year-old son (me) at whatever game we happened to be playing.
