BIO

Entrepreneurship and Marketing is my primary focus at Cornell's Graduate School of Management (MBA class of '09). On the side I explore Ithaca's famous gorges with the Outdoors Club, toss footballs as president of the Football Club, and spread the entrepreneurial spirit as an officer in the EVC Club . Furthermore, I'm a member of the most exclusive unofficial club on campus - the parent's club. I have a wonderful wife and two little blonde boys ages 2 and 4.



Before my coming to Cornell, I received a B.S. in business from BYU in Provo, UT. While at BYU I took a two year hiatus to be a full-time volunteer in Mexico. After graduating I moved to San Francisco to work at Gap Inc as a merchandise planner managing a $220M division. Later, I was selected to perform market analysis at the Gap's new fourth brand Piperlime.com. Finally, I decided to leave the big corporation and work at a profitable startup named Shade Clothing in Salt Lake City. All this time I ran the website www.gorillabags.com where I sell funky and fun college furniture.
