Your most embarrassing date moment?
I grabbed drinks with a girl on a first date and we ended up going to lounge that I had never been to before. And when we got to the bar, I quickly notice that the bartender is actually a girl I had dated earlier that year. That was easily the most excruciating vodka soda that I ever had to consume. 

What career accomplishment are you most proud of?
When I started at Lyft (formerly Zimride), we were a team of 8 people working out of a tiny office in Palo Alto. Literally, our conference room was a closet (max occupancy: 3). I feel truly grateful for the opportunity I was given to help grow this business and be a part of this amazing team. I would say that I most proud of the community that we've been able to create and the amount of people we've been able to bring together. If I had to be more specific, one of my proudest moments was when we hit our first million rides!
