I'm a high-energy builder, lifelong learner, and proud father of four. Whether investing in growth-stage companies, starting new businesses, leading teams, or teaching strategy at Chicago Booth, I'm drawn to people and projects that spark growth, personally, professionally, and in the world around me.

Over the past two and a half decades, I've founded, scaled, and sold multiple companies across CRM, investor relations, portfolio management, marketing automation, high-frequency trading, customer success, and document management. I've served as CEO, board director, and strategic advisor to dozens of companies, helping them navigate critical moments of growth, transformation, and transition.

Today, I sit in the investor's seat as a venture capitalist, leading and co-leading Seed and Series A financings and advising management teams. I invest in the future of work, health, and longevity as General Partner at Izou Partners and Operating Partner at Muditā Venture Partners. I'm passionate about helping founders refine strategy, build resilient teams, and accelerate go-to-market execution.

I also teach strategy for early and growth-stage companies at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, am building an outdoor recreation and experiential hospitality platform (The Forge), and oversee a non-profit (The Wilder World Trust) focused on ecological restoration and outdoor education.

When I'm not working or trying to keep up with my wife and four incredible kids, you'll find me hiking, biking, reading, performing, volunteering, or wandering through the woods while enjoying the quiet.
