  • Jun 2023 - Present

  All entrepreneurs sacrifice for their companies. After 11 years of 18 hour days, all-nighters, and putting my personal life on hold, I opted to take a sabbatical to recharge my mental and physical health and spend time with my new wife as we await her spousal visa to come to the United States. I'm currently in Vietnam traveling and working on different potential business plans. Taking a much needed break but am excited for whatever next chapter comes in my professional career!
