1525188_10151837001641088_1499435481_nSam Weber - I love sports, startups, and seeing hard work pay off.     I am a Senior at Grove City College pursuing a degree in English with concentrations in business and Legal Studies.  I am also a member of the women’s soccer team and led my team in goals my sophomore and junior years while also helping the team make program history at the NCAA tournament in 2012.
I’m not your typical college student. At 19 years old I had my first startup business idea while visiting my sister (Founder & CEO of @Foodspotting) in San Francisco. Back then, I knew absolutely nothing about business — I was just an English major with a vision of what I wanted the college athletic recruiting process to look like.

Soon, I found myself living out Guy Kawasaki’s thoughts on entrepreneurship: “The truth is that no one really knows he is an entrepreneur until he becomes one — and sometimes not even then.”
With an open mind, a desire to learn, and a passion for athletics, ProfilePasser was born. Since then, I have had to persevere through several challenges in order to find success. But if my own athletic career has taught me anything, it is that hard work and determination are the keys to success in sports, and now business.
