I tend to think of myself as pretty quiet and shy.  I like to think I 
have a good amount of confidence but I kind of keep it 
reserved.  I eat lots and lots of fruits and vegetables.  As you 
can imagine I waste very, very little in my household and I 
really believe that clean eating is a way to a more successful 
life or a happier life if you want to put it that way.

If you start the day with a healthy meal, I guarantee you’re 
going to feel better throughout that day and throughout that 
week.  You’ll be more motivated to do better in school, to get 
a better job, to maybe go work out or be more successful.  
And so, it’s really unfortunate that our food system is set up 
so calories are cheap but nutrition is expensive.  We’re 
looking to change the face of produce to make it really 
accessible, really affordable for people that need it.

So, if you walk down a  grocery store aisle and you see 
perfect looking apple, perfect looking apple, perfect looking 
apple, imperfect looking apple, meaning it’s too big or too 
small or it has a bruise on it, you wouldn’t choose it in a 
grocery store and that would get thrown away, right?  We use 
the perception of, it’s not what it looks like, it’s what it tastes 
like.  And even the ugly stuff tastes even better than the stuff 
you would find in the grocery store because it’s not 
processed.  It doesn’t have wax on it.  It’s straight out of the 
ground, right?  So, it’s even fresher and it’s tastes even better 
than the stuff that you find in the grocery store.

So, our company is called Hungry Harvest.  We have three 
different options.  We have an organic, we have a recovered 
box, we have an all fruit option.  We sell produce with 
purpose.  We hire people that were formerly in prison.  We’ve 
hired people that were formerly injured or were sick, that are 
living in homeless shelters that were really looking to get 
back on their feet and for a second chance in life.

Well, I live, breathe, and literally eat Hungry Harvest.  So, this 
is my entire life.  I’m not unsatisfied at all not having a life 
outside of Hungry Harvest.  This is what I do.  I love what I 
do.  I play golf every so often during the summer, but really, I 
just love coming to work.  And when you love coming to 
work, you don’t consider it work at all.  I consider it just what I 
do.  I’m always thinking about Hungry Harvest and how we 
can improve, and I can self-improve myself to be a better 
leader and CEO.

Shark Tank is a TV show where entrepreneurs go on and 
pitch a panel of celebrity and high net worth judges.  I walked 
on and I was really nervous.  You know, they do this thing 
where you’re standing in front of the doors and they do this 
countdown where it’s like 10, 9, 8 and they do this 
countdown  I’m pretty sure to scare the hell out of any 
entrepreneur that’s about to walk out on the Shark Tank.

So, when I got a deal with Robert Herjavec that was the 
closest to euphoria that I’ve ever felt in my entire life.  To 
work so, so hard on something and to dream about 
something for so long that you just want it so bad and then to 
see it validated on national TV, I couldn’t hold back and I was 
ultimately brought to tears by it, by the experience.  It was just 
really humbling and honoring.

I’m an avid traveler.  I love, love to travel the world and it’s my 
dream one day to just travel the world, then go to South 
America for a year, then go to different countries for a 
year and just see how they, how the people interact and see 
the culture and taste the food.  I really love food as you can 
tell.  And I just really want to meet every single person, right, 
to see everybody’s stories and how people live and... 
beautiful planet.  Why not see it?  I wake up every day with a 
smile on my face just knowing that no matter how bad this 
day is, I’m still waking up and coming to work and it’s a great 
cause.  It’s just so much fun that we have in this office every 
day.
