The Sneaker Savant

Who I thought The Sneaker Savant was and who I actually am have turned out to be two separate things. I started The Sneaker Savant when I realized that my background on Wall Street and Silicon Valley would be useful in building out a grading system for sneakers, so I created a grading platform. When I started it, I thought people were going to be lining up to use the service, but I've come to realize that things really aren't always that simple.

Before I shifted my focus, I underwent a career shift - I went from interacting with numbers and code to teaching a classroom full of high schoolers in East Oakland. Instead of spreadsheets and emails and meetings, I found that I was able to connect with people on a much more meaningful level. So now I'm trying to utilize all of those skills to build cool things.

The people I interact with through The Sneaker Savant on social media are my tribe. The Sneaker Savant is what I do for my 'me time'. If you're just getting into sneakers and want to know more, but are hesitant to commit to a mailing list - give me a follow on Instagram. Or if you'd rather listen - give the podcast a listen. Curious about anything? Send me an email. Hit me on Twitter or Facebook. I love talking about this stuff and I love hearing where people come from. I've been around since before 'collecting sneakers' became the thing to do, so I can contextualize almost anything you might have cooking. Reach out. Let's talk.
