Fun Facts?
I am a 7th generation Floridian, and not one but two of my ancestors were Florida governors.
Why the Palm Beaches?
I was raised in West Palm Beach. Throughout my career, while I was offered positions at various tech companies in places like Silicon Valley or Boston, I was never able to justify leaving Florida. When the opportunity arose to invest in a company in WPB, I jumped at the chance. I prefer small to medium sized cities to larger metro areas. The combination of a growing tech community, spectacular weather and quality infrastructure made Downtown West Palm Beach a perfect fit.
How has Palm Beach Tech helped you?
We have hired 3 interns to date and each of them came from the community that Palm Beach Tech built. Since we are based in Downtown West Palm Beach, we value the Palm Beach Tech Space and the ability to walk just 2-blocks to engage with other like minded entrepreneurs. Furthermore, PBT helps to promote the Palm Beaches as a growing destination for upcoming entrepreneurs as well as technologists seeking a better lifestyle and a place to grow their careers and family.
