Building things in CLT & ATX 🤠
Welcome to my corner of the internet. I'm currently building some cool things in fintech and have recently been working to make homeownership more accessible for everyone. When I'm not heads down, you'll likely catch me hitting some road work, tossing a frisbee with Layla, or snagging a pint at your local brewery. Don't be a stranger!
