I am a high-energy person with an insatiable appetite for growth and exploration. The pressures of family, business, and personal life are positive forces that help me advance my ideas, expand my knowledge, and make relentless progress toward my goals.

I am the proud father of four amazing people and a lucky husband to one incredible lady who (mostly) keeps me in line.

I have founded, co-founded, grown, bought, and sold multiple companies focused on Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Investor Relations, Marketing Automation, Investment Portfolio & Research Management, High-Frequency Trading, Customer Success, and Document Management. I have also served as CEO, President, or Board Director of software companies, helping to grow and sell them.

My current pursuits focus on Strategy Consulting to growth-stage companies, Outdoor Recreation, Experiential Hospitality & Entertainment, and teaching at The University of Chicago School of Business.

I enjoy advising and investing in emerging and growth-stage technology-centric companies. The challenge of helping them with strategy and best practices for acquiring and serving customers helps me to keep learning and exploring new ideas.

When I am not working or trying to keep up with my family, you will find me biking, hiking, reading a book, puzzling over business problems, volunteering, performing, teaching, or wandering around the woods.
