Founded Papa to support older adults and families. Grew up in South Florida and started my career in sales. Cut my teeth in start up / healthcare world with MDLIVE. Started on the team in 2011 and helped grow the company to over 35M members by 2017. Left in 2017 to focus on Papa full time, been doing that ever since. Love growing Papa, snowboarding, hanging with Romi (gf) and Chewie (dog), reading, nice dinners, and spending time with family and friends.
