What I Stand For

I believe that hard work and persistence and kindness and a genuine interest in getting it right above simply getting to be right can fuel success at any company, but especially at a startup.

I believe that if you work hard, if you do what’s right, and if you help others when the opportunity presents itself, that you will find success in business, and in life.
