His role at Elevate Ventures is as an EIR for the Velocities region, which is a joint venture between the Columbus Chamber of Commerce and The Dimension Mill in Bloomington.  He has a degree in Economics from Indiana University where he currently teaches an MBA course on entrepreneurship at IUPUC and Strategic Management at Kelley School of Business (IUB). He also has an MBA from Baylor University, where he is an executive judge for their annual MBA Ethics competition.

Growing up, in my household you were not allowed to complain about something unless you were willing to do something about it.
