Principles that resonate with me

Doing the work works, control the controllables, pay attention to what you pay attention to, be honest and genuine, and what’s meant for you won’t miss you

Favorite quote

“Success is the sum of small things done the right way day in and day out” – Mark Schlott, Candy Hall of Fame ‘21

Family matters

My older sister is my role model and my younger brother and parents mean the world to me. Consider my close friends as family too! Wouldn’t be where I am or who I am today without them.

First Job

Since I played baseball every summer through high school, first real job was working as Kitchen Staff at Teton Valley Ranch Camp in Dubois, WY. Kudos to this experience for instilling kitchen creativity and an enjoyment of doing dishes in me!

Where you’ll find me on a Saturday morning

Go on a Katy Trail walk with my girlfriend, weightlift, and then cook us a big country breakfast (inclusive of a cup of homemade cold brew)

Favorite movie

As a huge movie person its tough to pick one favorite, so top few are all Christopher Nolan moves (especially Batman Trilogy), Good Will Hunting, Pink Panther, and all 5 Despicable Me movies

Daily reads and podcasts

Morning Brew and Axios Pro Rata are my go-to daily reads. Podcast wise, big fan of Deal Sourcery, Acquired and Pardon My Take

Would love to have a dinner with this historical figure

Kobe Bryant – the ultimate competitor
