Life & Career Milestones
I've taken a lot of twists and turns
1.
Going away from the town where I grew up in was a pretty big milestone for me. Living abroad was really important, because it opened my eyes to the world and gave me awesome new experiences.
2.
Moving to San Francisco was another really big moment in my life—it really helped to jump start my career. Being in the hub of technology in the U.S. was a major advantage at that point.
3.
Meeting my wife was obviously a pretty important moment.
4.
And having my child was another obvious milestone.
