About Me
Founded two $100M+ companies from scratch and sold another company to a Fortune 500. I've been fired a little too frequently, but it makes for good stories to tell. I love traveling the world, learning languages (believe it or not, I can speak French!), and eating pretty much anything.
I split time between Austin, Texas and Paris with my partner (she's French) and our daughter. I've had a chance to live in Chicago, SF, NYC and Austin so I've been able to see a few different ways of how people live Stateside.
Favorite cheese: Tomme de Brebis
Favorite pâtisserie: Mille Feuille
Preferred transport in Paris: Velo musculaire
Preferred wine: Blanc Moelleux Côte de Gascogne
I'm American-style friendly with French-style sincerity. Just come say hello.
