I grew up in Pittstown, NJ, a small town that's known for growing peaches! (Hence, why its called "Pitts"town.) I played lacrosse all through HS and continue to play lacrosse on the USC Men's lacrosse Team. During the summers, I spent my time playing summer lacrosse and going to the Jersey shore to skimboard and surf.
Never would I have thought I would be going to college at USC in LA. Originally, I thought I would be in Boston, being premed, and studying to become a doctor. Well that has drastically changed...and I'm so happy it did!
I love startups and deep-tech. But more importantly, I love to build! However, this motivation of mine didn't really set in untill the middle of the pandemic (November 2020). I found TroyLabs, learned I had a passion (and talent!) for consulting, and knew that speaking, working, and collaborating with people on thier ideas will be one of the things I want to do for the rest of my life. Since then, I have taught myself product design, product management, and am now working on elevating my computer engineering skills. I believe with these three I can build anything! I will have the skills to design my product, the skills to build my product, and the skills to manage the prior two. A path towards self sufficiency. Yes, people can say "oh, you should focus on one skill and spealize" or they say "a jack of all trades, but a master of none" and to all of that I say " I don't care!" Becuase I am going to be able to do all those things and the reality is "a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." Or how I would like to revise it "a jack of all trades with a master of one can of often times build with anyone." And I leave you with that..

Also, if you ever want to talk neuroscience or the philosophy of neuroscience, also send me an email. 😂 I got some cool theories to share.
