Bio

I am an entrepreneur who created Giftventure.com, a treasure hunt service that comes in the mail. I originally developed the concept based on a game I created for my three nieces. Previously, I either co-founded or was part of the management team of four successful high-tech start ups companies in Silicon Valley. I started my career in Japan, at the Sony Corporation in Tokyo. I learned Japanese as a second language and had so much fun with it I stayed and lived in Tokyo for 5 years. I love to travel. I spent a year backpacking around Asia and North America. Living out of a backpack teaches economies of space. You learn to live without much stuff. I am an avid reader, political hack, ponderer, uncle of three, and internet junkie. I love to learn new things, solve difficult problems and talk to smart people.
