Building sh*t that matters

About Me

I'm a founder, operator and leader in the smoking cessation space. When I was a young child - there was always one little muddy area at my mom's house in the backyard.

Every weekend I was at my mom's, I would dig a whole in the wet patch of mud. Of course when it rained, the hole would seemingly not be a hole anymore so I'd restart.

One time, I dug the whole so deep I told my mom and her boyfriend I was almost to China.

They told me to keep digging, but my shovel wasn't narrow enough so I had to make the hole wider from the top down so I could scoop up more mud.

Whenever the hole was too narrow at the bottom and too wide at the top, I'd use match box cars to carve out the sides from top to bottom to make the hole perfectly cyclindrical.

About 4 years later my mom remarried to my stepdad who taught me 3D modeling and I went on to learn additive manufacturing in highschool.

Moral of the story: If it weren't for me initially digging holes in my moms backyard with a rusty shovel and match box cars - I potentially would have never had an interested in how 3D modeling shape our daily lives.

Now I do e-commerce in Miami but hey! would've been cool if I became a prodigy engineer.

Lol.
