Founder. Operator. Investor. Educator. No matter the role, I’ve always believed in trusting your instincts and never outsourcing your judgment.
 
That mindset has led me down an unconventional path from poverty to investor. I grew up in Queens, hawking flowers on street corners and working at McDonald’s to help put food on the table. On a mission to transcend poverty as fast as possible, I dropped out of high school at 16 to work full-time and enroll in college early.
 
Over the next decade, I earned a law degree from Fordham at night and began a career as the youngest press secretary in NYC history, where I helped manage the global press response to 9/11.
 
I went on to be an executive for two NFL teams, found/invest in some of the most dynamic brands through RSE Ventures, and become a guest shark on ABC’s Shark Tank (seasons 10-11) as well as an executive fellow at Harvard Business School, where I co-teach "Moving Beyond Direct-to-Consumer." 
 
Always looking to meet great founders and the people who invest in them.

My training and experience in Public Relations, Event Planning and Media Relations can now be combined with my father's influence as an Aerojet Engineer and my love of physics & mechanics. My father also gave me a great appreciation for the English language, and I am so excited to be able to bring my passions and skills together in my role as PR for Samson Sky.

I have closely followed the development of the Switchblade Flying Car for over 10 years, and watched the unwavering dedication that Sam and Martha Bousfield have for bringing the Switchblade to market. I feel honored to now be a part of the incredible Samson Sky Team that is helping to usher in the future in such a meaningful way.

Early Life:
My dad was an Aerojet Engineer, and instilled in me a strong interest in physics, and knowing how things around you work. I've always loved knowing how things are built and how they function. From rebuilding my skateboards, then my bikes, when I learned to drive, I also learned how to maintain my cars, which I did for the first 10 years. After high school I was a part owner of an auto body shop for several years. I later helped rebuild half of a house from the ground up, and helped wire our shop with commercial wiring.  I stopped wrenching on cars a long time ago, but it sure helps when you know how things are built!
