I like tech, sailing, random walks through the city, simple vineyards, adventurous escapades, staring at airplanes, and impromptu whiteboarding.

Since selling my last company, I am dividing my time across three areas:

• Developing my own ventures in generative ai and publishing the vulnerable process (substack)
• Building community with intention of meeting my life cofounder (insta)
• Advising founders and investing in early stage companies (How I invest)

Recently, I coded up Sage and co-created SkimIt.ai. I'll continue to favor motion over meditation.

I founded Budsies, Sparkology, and a handful of web apps. Budsies was a SaaS manufacturing play with multiple DTC brands, including the flagship namesake that brings kids' artwork to life through adorable stuffed animals (exited 2021). Sparkology was an invite-only dating app for well-intentioned singles (exited 2016).

Before the leap, I traveled the world to sell consumer tech for OpenPeak. I also helped raise a few pennies and learned how growth companies run. I know finance is out of fashion, but I’m proud of my Evercore finTech M&A beginnings and am glad to still be close with my old team. I’ve also worked at UBS, Lockheed Martin, and consulted other startups both formally and on park benches (preferred).

I learned to dream big at UPenn. Engineering, finance, entrepreneurship, math, and magna cum laude may complete your checkboxes... but it’s the lasting friendships and projects that inspired me the most.
