Bio

Purcell changes the way groceries are sold; offering higher profits, lower prices, and reducing food-related waste. After ​leaving ​high ​school ​in ​my ​sophomore ​year ​to pursue ​a ​SCUBA career in ​Australia I ​travelled ​to ​over ​40 ​countries ​doing ​volunteer ​work. I am a proud veteran having served in ​the ​Coast ​Guard. Prior to Purcell, I ​co-founded ​Conway ​Capital providing ​tax ​strategies ​to ​high ​net ​worth ​individuals ​through ​customized ​insurance policies. I ​left ​Conway ​Capital ​to ​found ​Purcell ​in ​2015. I started Purcell​ after ​realizing ​the ​answer ​to ​reducing ​the ​amount ​of ​trash ​produced by ​the ​average ​US ​household ​relies ​heavily ​on ​the ​elimination ​of ​food ​packaging. ​Food ​packaging comprises ​75% ​of ​American ​household ​waste, ​approximately ​73 ​million ​tons ​per ​year. ​Hinging ​on ​the idea ​that ​reducing ​waste ​long-term ​is ​an ​economically ​sustainable ​model, Purcell not ​only ​promises to ​reduce ​waste but ​also ​boost ​profits ​to ​stores ​and ​increase ​customer ​savings. I am passionate about travelling and helping the poor. Some highlights of my travels are trekking through the Himalayas in Tibet and Sikkim, working with young girls at risk of being sold into prostitution in Thailand, and working with former child soldiers in Uganda.
