I am Co-Founder and CEO of UpbeatPR.com, where we offer PR on demand. Hundreds of businesses use Upbeat to help handle their media outreach. We make it simple to go from idea to pitch to coverage in less than an hour of your time. You've read our clients' stories in the New York Times, Washington Post, BuzzFeed, NBC, NPR, CNN, Good Morning America and more.

Previously I started Crowdbooster.com to help the UN, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Nike, jetBlue, Edelman, Britney Spears, and thousands of other organizations large and small easily measure and optimize their social media channels.

I graduated from Stanford University in 2010. Now I'm on the Board of BASES, helping empower the next generation of Stanford entrepreneurs.
