Building products and businesses in CLT & ATX 🤠

I'm currently building some cool things in fintech and have recently been working to make homeownership more affordable and 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!
