About

I am an International race-car driver,  part-time model, cover story, spokesperson, globetrotter, minor YouTube sensation, and a few other things.

I am a co-founder and CEO of BuildingLayer, which is an open data platform for indoor mapping. An evolution of AwesomeTouch, this is one of the first success stories from Awesome Labs, which is an excuse to hang out with my smartest, most creative friends.

I studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kentucky, spent a semester at Budapest University of Technology and Economics, took my company through Betaspring, and almost went to Stanford for my MBA, but chose learn about business through a hands-on approach.

I like talking about bicycles, STEM education, and tech startups.

I’ve lived in Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Chicago, Omaha, Louisville, Budapest, Lexington, and Providence.

My family is my rock. My parents are cool. So are my two little sisters. And my twenty (or so) first cousins, who I see every Summer.
