Born and raised in Chicago, but lived in San Francisco for years, maybe picked up the quirkiest of both?

A good chunk of the time trying something new. On occasion something I've done before.

Started in biology, took a detour in finance, but have been in startups (both my own and helping grow others') in the Bay ever since. Lucky to have been a part of small groups of people doing exciting things, and incidentally involved in world-changing stuff. I also get really excited about public health and open government - helping out with data and fundraising.

I am still working on this profile! Also I'm good at procrastinating.
