Bio
Over the last four years I have fallen in love with San Diego, though a small part of me still thinks I'm cheating on New York. In an attempt to suck the marrow out of life I say yes to the world, have trouble standing still and abhor sleep. I count myself fortunate to combine my passion for health and wellness with my expertise in designing meaningful experiences through my work with Sharp Health Plan. TED has had a significant impact on my life through what I have learned from others and my role in bringing TEDxSanDiego to life for the last three years. My goal each day is to do one act of kindness and make ten people smile....starting with my awesome wife.
I'm passionate about
In no particular order - improv comedy, trail running, CrossFit, snowboarding, pizza and beer, community, San Diego, my family and golden retriever Toby, inspiring others, surfing and the NY Jets
