I turn high-intention capital into noteworthy ventures.
I have a dense network of elite talent – technical, non-technical, and creative – which I’ve used to build dozens of high-momentum teams, with a recent focus in the family office sector.
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh. I've lived and studied in Vermont, Zanzibar, and Sweden. I spent several years living in Boulder, Colorado before moving to New York City. I live in Westchester County, NY with my wife and son.
I have a B.A. in Global Human Impact Studies from the University of Vermont. This was a self-designed course of study rooted in ecology, climate science, complex systems, community development, and applied economics. I was fortunate to also study coastal ecology in Zanzibar with the School for International Training, and do a pacific rim voyage on Semester at Sea.
I went on to pursue a M.S. in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona, Sweden. This was a graduate degree in navigating complex systems, strategic planning, and applied sustainability, something akin to a 'green MBA' program. After Sweden I stepped into the world of entrepreneurship and social innovation, as a fellow of StartingBloc, the Unreasonable Institute, and the New York City Venture Fellows.
