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.
