Describe your company: LOOMING is the first-ever big and tall sportswear company for larger-than-life athletes and their fans.

Why did you apply to Race To Revenue? What are you hoping to get out of this experience? I wanted to spend another summer working on my idea and continue to sharpen it through the guidance of the individuals in the program's first-ever big and tall sportswear company for larger-than-life athletes and their fans.

When is a time you failed forward? I failed forward when I did.

Where were you born? What is an interesting fact about your hometown? I am from Redding, California. It has a beautiful walking bridge that crosses the Sacramento River.

Would you rather go back in time or be transported to the future? As long as I can pick the era and place back in time.

Who is the fictional character that you have the most in common with, and why? Star Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy because he uses music to fuel his adventures, and he learns to get out of his own way to be more of a team player and empathic leader.

Fun fact about you: I have over 300 pairs of shoes and have been to 43 countries.

Lastly, what do you want to learn more about, relating to business development in general or your own company/venture specifically? Getting angel investors to invest in CPG companies.
