Q & A
Q. What's your story?
A.
I came to Sandbox during the summer of 2009. When I got here I couldn’t believe a place like this existed. I remember saying something like this: “Wait? You guys sit around all day trying to think of businesses to start? Sounds awesome!”
Fortunately, Sandbox found a spot for me on their foundry team. After some successes and many failures, I moved to the fund management side of the business. I currently work on our BlueCross BlueShield healthcare fund and Agriculture Innovation Fund. And the story continues…
Q. What inspires you?
A.
Searching for the unknown and learning interesting things.
Q. Why Sandbox?
A.
Working with people who are not afraid to fail. The people are also ridiculously smart and fun. I also love having the ability to wear sneakers everyday.
Q. Where can we find you outside of work?
A.
Riding my bike, even in the winter.
