After creating two companies and selling the second one to Intuit, I shifted gears from working in finance and operations to learn mobile software development. Making apps and building software captivated me because it is the perfect mix of logic and creativity.

I'm a UC Santa Barbara grad and a self-motivated entrepreneur who turned a successful college project into a business called Dura Doggie (Durable Ideas). There, for a period of three years, I oversaw all operations and managed finances. At Dura Doggie my partners and I saw a real need for a simple inventory management system and launched Lettuce. Lettuce was a software company, which provided simple order and inventory management for product-based businesses. As Director of Operations, I managed the Finance, Customer Support, Quality Assurance and Human Resources departments. The acquisition of Lettuce by Intuit sparked a temporary consulting practice that led me back into the pet industry. I’m currently a mobile software developer at Anivive Lifesciences, working on the AniTrial mobile platform.

I invested in a powerful documentary film about the Charleston church shooting and the amazing acts of forgiveness that followed. You can purchase it here.
