When I was 12, I wanted to be a concert pianist. I practiced every night until my fingertips bled, but my audition never made it past the regional orchestra.

When I was 14, I decided to become a professional tennis player. I would wake up four hours early to hit before school, only to lose every tournament I played.

I started my first company (a TikTok agency) when I was 18, and it was the first time anything ever came easy. We scaled to millions in revenue from my dorm room and landed blue-chip clients like Nike, Kroger, and P&G.

I became a social media advisor to billionaire clients, celebrities, and a presidential campaign.

Elon Musk says that the best way to make a billion dollars is to solve a really big problem - so on my 21st birthday, I started building Flashpass, a tech platform that will make outplacement services, job boards, and unemployment benefits a thing of the past.

In my free time, I work on de-extinction technology and play video games.
