About (request update)

I have the uncanny ability to make the technically difficult, easily digestible. I'm great at making people, team members, people I manage/managed more open to sharing more about themselves to better understand how to solve complex issues. I love video games and baseball and good music.

Want to know more? Reach out?

Current Whereabouts:

Content Creation, Gaming, Live Streaming, Development, Marketing, Health, Weightlifting, Entrepreneurship, Design.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

Financial Security and Independence are two things I want. Why? Because they help me go after what I really want to spend time doing. Which leads to entrepreneurship in the long run (the third item). Seems like an oxymoron honestly, because if you don't know, Entrepreneurship can be hard. To date, I've operated 8 different businesses. My big 3 are as follows: 1) Own a Professional Baseball team. 2) Start a Venture Capital firm. 3) Use my skills/knowledge to help others and hopefully with the freedom it could provide to travel and spend time with family. 4) Gaming company. Want to know more? Reach out, let's connect.
