Q. What's your story?

A. 

During the summer of 2011 I was looking for an job with a startup. I got in touch with my friend Jack Wheeler who told me about the amazing experiences he had working for Sandbox. After I applied for a position I got an internship with Sandbox and later moved on to a full-time position with doggyloot.

Q. What inspires you?

A. 

Coming to work every day in a place where ideas are being talked about that have the potential to make an impact on the world. My mom, dad, brother, friends, and coworkers.

Q. Why Sandbox?

A. 

The endless possibility to learn is the most appealing part to me. A new task I have never seen before is in front of me each day and I have to find out a way to solve it, whether it be figuring out a way to streamline the shipping process for doggyloot or trying purchase a mannequin on craigslist for one of our startups Cakestyle. Everyone works together to make Sandbox and each individual company within it run smoothly. I am just learning as much as possible along the way.

Q. Where can we find you outside of work?

A. 

Playing with my dogs, shooting hoops, snowboarding, traveling with family, finding that next great restaurant, cheering on anything Chicago accomplishes, or camping with friends.
