I am a native Nashvillian who attended Father Ryan High School and the University of Notre Dame. Over the last 20 years, I have founded and been involved in numerous start-up companies. I was the co-owner and CEO of a 5 time winner of the Music City Future 50 for Nashville's fastest growing companies and was therefore inducted in to its Hall of Fame in 2009. In 2011, I founded Grapevine Interactive and have been working with individuals and businesses to bring out the best in themselves through problem solving, caring for others, and having fun.
