I am an excellence-driven, technological visionary with an inventive and entrepreneurial spirit. As a leader, I inspire those around me to work toward common goals. My great-grandfather owned the St Louis Cardinals from 1899 to 1917. During his ownership the team name went from the Browns (1898) to the Perfectos (1899) to the Cardinals (1900). Baseball is in my blood and I am thrilled to be Director of Operations of Cardinals Legacy Foundation For Baseball (501c3 Charity). along Chad Kreuter (manager of Syracuse Mets AAA team), Gregg Olson (Orioles Hall of Famer), Mark Littell (1982 World Series Cardinals hurler) and Tom Hemby (multiple Grammy winning guitar player). This charity helps high school baseball players from low-income and high-poverty areas showcase their talent to college coaches. Our charity is part of the St Louis Cardinals Care network of charities.My 2022 start-up Boxes, Inc. is an @AngelList curated "Angel Stack" company and we hope to raise $1M in 2022.
