I graduated with a Bachelor's in Management, Marketing and Finance from Loyola University in 2001. In business I believe that there is always an angle to create success and I am a master at finding those angles.

I do this by never assuming anything and creating very elegant strategies to minimize risk. I know what it takes to be successful and seek to invest in people who do as well.
