Asheville is a rapidly growing and popular city; it has been named a Fodor top travel destination, and is the site of many new breweries, including New Belgium's east coast expansion.

He has brought startup ideas to large organizations, and works in the community as an organizer & mentor to help startups succeed. His work with Asheville's startup and open data scenes have been featured by GovTech.com and the National League of Cities.
