When did your interest in technology begin?
My interest in technology began at a young age. As one of the last analog babies, I remember vividly just how far we've come in the past 20 years, but am still an early enough adopter to remain at the forefront of the advancements made in the space.
What was your first phone?
My first cell phone was my dad's old Blackberry that he retired in about 2007. I remember playing brick breaker for hours on end in his office before he would take me home for the day during the summers.
What tech products or categories are you most passionate about?
I'm most passionate about the technological advancements made in the automotive space. We spend the most time in our cars, outside of our home and offices, and that's a special relationship to me as a former mechanic.
