BIO
Start as a homeless teen at 16. Worked in a motel for 100 hour weeks where I met a driver and helped him with his paperwork. Realizing this, I helped his friends and then created a dispatching company. Understood shipping, created a grocery store and restaurant thereafter to connect and meet new people! Now focused on trucking software to alleviate inefficiencies I've personally experienced over the last 6 years in the industry.
