The Truth

I believe that peace is possible.  I’m optimistic on the potential and power of entrepreneurship to change the plight of those most in need.  I find a thrill and deep satisfaction in helping spot, nurture, and grow the next generation of great ideas and business that better the way we live life.  I believe that capitalism can be a transformational means of social change, if done the right way.  However, I also believe there are multiple problems that can’t be solved through business and must be solved through law and policy: our criminal justice system, our affordable housing crisis, and countless others.  I’m grateful for my family, some of whom have sacrificed their potential so I could realize mine.  It’s something I will never forget.  I’m a diehard Stanford football fan and prefer quantity over quality when it comes to food =)

And my personal mantra is a quote by Mattie JT Stepanek, international peacemaker:

“What matters in life is courage and commitment, not might or wealth.”
