Welcome

I am Ohio's Top Young Social Entrepreneur. I have started several companies whose purpose is to provide care, assist, serve, or help others. Some have been non profit companies and others have been for profits. Many have been successful but I've had my share of struggles in my story.

 

This is a pretty comprehensive website about my life, ambition, success, goals, challenges, and obstacles. I hope that you find it inspirational and informative. If you have feedback, please feel free to email me and share. Thanks for getting to know me a little bit better.

 

Carpe Diem.

2011 Greatest Accomplishment

Serving on the United States' Chamber of Commerce's Center for Entrepreneurship Advisory Council is the highlight of a challenging 2011. My visit to DC was filled with wonderful memories and the opportunity to influence legislation in Washington that will help reduce regulations, increase bank lending to small businesses, and make it easier for talented entrepreneurs to become American citizens.

 

I was also inducted by the National Honor Roll of American Entrepreneurs in 2011. The Consortium for Entrepreneursip Education committee recognized my dedication to my community, my companies longevity, and my passion for promoting the importance of entrepreneurship. Big Thanks to Adam Malone and the BBC for nominating me for this award.

 

2012 Big Hairy Audacious Goal

My BHAG for 2012: To complete my book about success in college. There is a lot of work to do interviewing college students who have been successful and talking to faculty and staff at different universities. I'm confident that if I dedicate some time and energy into the book than it will change people's lives for the better.

 

Sound Mind Goal: To return to Babson College this June and resume work on my MBA program. I will invest more time, help others more, learn more, and give more to the program than I did before. There will be more time with undergraduates, more time with faculty, and more time volunteering to help others realize their dream of starting their own business and changing the world.

 

Sound Body Goal: I will start participating in my workout routine three times a week. The comfort that I developed in the gym will re-emerge and I will be capable of running a sub seven minute mile. My eating habits will continue to improve. Removing fast food from my normal quick meal routine is a huge priority. I will start making time to purchase the right groceries and I will give myself enough time to eat in a calm environment.
