Education / Career Background: I left the Jersey Shore for warmer weather and Clemson University, where I honed problem solving skills, met Evan and Adam, and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS in Computer Science. Upon moving to Greenville, I began an IT career with the The Cliffs Communities. Before long I was leading the life of IT Manager by day and Clemson MBA student by night.
Early Life: As a youngster, I began honing technical skills through activities like advanced paper container dismantling (breaking down cardboard), pigment combinatorics (mixing paint) and fiddling with websites. I created my first website by age 16, and it eventually reached over a million visitors a year.
