I’m an entrepreneur with 20+ years of marketing experience and I like to approach to business differently. I was born and raised in the Chicago area. I met my wife at a high school volleyball game and we’ve been together ever since, we have one daughter that is just as crazy as me. I’m a craft beer lover and drink tea on the regular.
