Since 2009, he has built a variety of companies including Wevival, a web development and online marketing firm, and LaunchGen, an ed tech firm with the ambitious goal of launching the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs through competition and challenge-based learning environments. The projects he is working on are always changing, but they are all driven by his interest in entrepreneurship, technology, and economic development.
Over the years, he’s been blessed to launch and contribute to a variety of local initiatives including Launch Carroll, the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce’s Young Professionals Group, and the Carroll Biz Challenge, a business competition where local entrepreneurs compete to win a $5,000 cash prize.
