“Prior to my work in impact investing I had the opportunity to participate in and fund medical humanitarian missions. I saw and lived amongst stark examples of our world’s poorest people. Later I came to realize that through cause solutions in education and health that many of these challenges could be mostly solved.”

Personal info

"I am married to the happiest woman in the world that understands and inspires me. I have six wonderful children. I love sports of all kinds, meeting and getting to know new people and I would rather be in the outdoors doing something adventurous than sitting at my desk."
