YCSW's founder and director (Staples High '03, Yale College '07) began working in private college admissions shortly after graduation.
Several years later he started his own company (Meliora Education, now YCSW Education) with the mission of helping students gain admission to their dream schools.
He lives in Connecticut with his two dogs and his fiancée, Ashley.
