I graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2006 with an Engineering degree and went to work for a major international bank. I worked there for almost 4 years climbing the ranks and leading large teams on multimillion-dollar projects before I left to start my own Wealth Management firm. I quickly felt the calling of the NYC startup community and began working with a couple of developers on some startup ideas.

Currently, I am partner at NYC Dev Shop (https://nycdevshop.com) and cofounder of NY Tech Day (http://nytechday.com). I am incredibly passionate about the startup community, learning, and mentoring, and have made some great connections which I plan to leverage to make this class incredibly beneficial for everyone involved.
