Co-founder at startup developing multi-target therapeutics for neuroimmunological diseases. We're taking radically different approaches to unravel complex disease, and engineering solutions that change lives.

Founder/CEO of Oakland Ventures, parent company of both Two Mile Wines and Oakland Spirits Company. We produce and distribute specialty alcohol products, and serve as an incubator and investor in other Bay Area producers.OsCo Spirits can be found in more than 500 California locations, including Whole Foods, BevMo, Costco, and Total Wine and More. We’ve been featured in Sunset Magazine, Vogue, The Wine Enthusiast, Sierra Club Magazine, San Francisco Magazine, 7x7, among others. Everything we do is driven by a sense of place: Oakland where we make everything, rare and humdrum places where we forage botanicals, the amazing bartenders and chefs who honor and humble us daily, and that less tangible place in the world where a drink shared with somebody can reconnect or heal or mark the start of a life’s journey with a complete stranger. That’s why we do it. That’s actually why we do it. If you want bullshit, fancy bottles, a recipe created by somebody’s great-grandfather, or products more about what they’re against than what they’re for, there’s plenty of it out there to try. But if you want to come by and see a group of people working hard to create products of our time, our door is always open.
