Q. What's your story?

A. 

I founded Sandbox with my friend and colleague Bob Shapiro. The goal for Sandbox was to create a place where business creation and exploration could thrive.

Q. What inspires you?

A. 

I have always been interested in the creative process… how do great ideas erupt, how can I create an environment that encourages creativity, and how can I empower people to beyond whatever they think is possible. I am constantly inspired by the people involved in Sandbox… I love the juxtaposition of our unique culture with the diversity of our people.

Q. Why Sandbox?

A. 

It is really tough to zero in on one thing, but I cherish the idea that we are constantly opening new doors of opportunity. It is exciting to know that Sandbox today is far different from what it was a couple years ago and will most assuredly be different two years from now; it is constantly changing, evolving, and finding new opportunities while being true to our core cultural values: honesty, help not harass, welcome all ideas, advantaged investing, collaboration, flexibility, and value people.

Q. Where can we find you outside of work?

A. 

I have eclectic tastes outside of work… I love discovering new places, from time to time I like to golf, I am a foodie, I love film… in February you can find me in Maui.
