I was trying to figure out how to use the skills I had developed in the world of social change.

I am a person who feels compelled and then gets immersed.

I exercise most days.

People are not good at expressing their frustration. The best way to listen to the customer is through metrics.

I went to boarding school Southern, religious, and straight, and I left boarding school not being at all religious and not being straight.

I was on significant financial aid, an only child, with parents who didn't have much living in North Carolina.

I knew I wanted to do something at the nexus of what I call global development and technology.
