A Little about me

Across every experience—from creating and testing new compounds in the lab to training for my next classical piano recital—I know I can always count on three constants in my life: my 100% commitment to my vision, my dedication to keeping it real, and my responsibility to help make this world a better place.
In my latest professional venture as a founder and CEO, this is truer than ever before. Experiencing first hand the isolation that social media causes, I set out to build the next huge social experience for people and their friends. When I'm not working, you can find me searching for a Steinway Grand to play in New York City.
