Stealing a quote from Yvon Chouinard, i’m a reluctant businessman. Having spent more than a decade working for various consulting agencies, i had enough and was ready to do things the way i wanted. That stubbornness resulted in the creation of 33 Sticks, a company that challenges business norms, creates immensely positive experiences, and serves as an oasis for those who have been burned out by the toxicity of the corporate world. In addition to building a company, i love cooking and playing music (piano, bass guitar, and uke).
