What is the coolest part about your job?
"I get to work with insanely talented and intelligent people, all of who are just as passionate about disrupting a massive industry that is traditionally resistant to change. We're all crazy, and it's awesome."

How would you describe your style?
"'Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.' That's a quote from Gore Vidal."

Where do you shop in the city?
"H&M, Urban Outfitters, Welcome Stranger, Revolver, and Taylor Stitch are where I find myself of late."

Do you think it is fact or fiction that people assume folks who work in tech have bad fashion sense?
"It used to be fact, but no longer. The San Francisco tech scene has become much more stylish, and with emerging hubs in L.A. and NYC it's only getting better."

Do you think this myth is being crushed?
"Most definitely. Tech entrepreneurs are increasingly design focused, and good design is based on having amazing taste. This translates to the real world."
