Raised in Huntington Beach, CA.
Surfing competitively, I had the opportunity to grow a passion for the outdoors, travel, and all things south of the border. Surf, skate, and snow were the foundation of most early life lessons. From the value of persistence, facing fears, and competing, these sports shaped my attitudes, tastes in music and art, and philosophies… I couldn’t be more thankful.
I got a lucky little barrel south of the HB pier that started it all..
Educated at the University of Southern California (USC) with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Business Administration and a concentration in Finance and Entrepreneurship (Class of 2012).
Economic Development in Ghana.
I’ve been personally involved with an economic development program in Ghana started by my economics professor Senyo Adjibolosoo. In fact, I did an international economics course abroad in Akatsi, Ghana. A first-generation Ghanaian Economist, my travels provoked a keen interest in how local entrepreneurs and new technologies lift the standard of living for underdeveloped countries.

Value creation is at the heart of my interest in starting businesses. How do we make someone’s day more interesting, unique, and memorable while providing an economic benefit. These questions have led me to some really fun and impactful projects and continue to motivate me to this day.
East vs. West Coast
You can usually find me in either Venice Beach or in NYC. Throughout the year I’m bouncing between both, Socal being my physical home and NYC being my spiritual home.
