I recently graduated from Skidmore College, where I studied Management & Business and Entrepreneurship, with a few art classes sprinkled in along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a hockey player and coach, I\u2019ve seen firsthand how sports build confidence, create community, and shape how people see themselves. That impact is what makes the sports industry meaningful to me.<\/p>\n

As a founder, I\u2019ve gained hands-on experience turning ideas into products by talking with athletes, identifying common pain points, building prototypes, developing pitch decks, and pitching to investors. Through this work, I\u2019ve learned to approach problems from both a design and strategic perspective.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019m excited to bring that perspective to a team building great products, brands, and experiences in sports.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
