Early Adopter | Entrepreneur | Wellness Advocate | Tech Nerd | Co-Founder and CEO @ Camber Legal

I've always been captivated by the journey people take to discover their life's true calling. While we often hear about the famous founders and trailblazers, there are countless others who toil away each day, quietly pursuing their dreams. They build, they grow, they stumble and pick themselves up, all without the spotlight of fame, finding immense joy in the simple act of getting things done.

I found my life's purpose at the age of 40. Now, I'm determined to spend the next forty+ years on a journey of building, growing, failing, and learning, surrounded by a diverse group of rebels who share my passion. Together, we aim to push boundaries and contribute to making the world a better and more fascinating place.
