About Me :
I am excited to be a part of the MTDN network. I am energized by philanthropy, whether it be on an individual, community or broad-based level -- regardless the cause. I have found that serving others and doing it from a place of gratitiude is an incredibly rewarding experience.
I live and work in Silicon Valley and have had the good fortune to be able to help both entrepreneurs and large, established companies launch exciting initiatives while being focused on improving their communities. It is clear that the goal of "doing well by doing good" is an emerging inspiration that is being widely adopted in the hopes that we can make the world a better place.
