Founder @ Shofo (YC W26)
Now
Cofounder & CEO at Shofo. We're building the world's largest video library. We've aggregated billions of videos into an index that we filter and label to provide datasets labs need on demand.
Before this: Fort Collins → UC Santa Barbara → AWS → Shofo.
Interested in
Startups. Anyone can build something that changes the world. It doesn't matter how old you are, what school you went to, if you even went to school, where you're from etc. If you build something the world needs, you can change it.
Oceans. We know more about the surface of Mars than our own ocean floor. Oceans produce the majority of the oxygen on our planet. They also have nudibranchs which are cool :)
Sports. Basketball, Football, and Track taught me discipline, hard work, and how to work with and lead a team. Biggest achievement was winning two state titles in track.
Fun fact: salps can grow over 200% in body size in a single day.
What matters to me
Family, honesty, discipline, integrity, and effort.
My life goal is to meaningfully extend the health and lifespan of our oceans. I just haven't figured out how yet.
