Whether it was early IBM computers or leftover electronics from our half-finished projects, technology has always been well-represented in my home. I grew up hearing stories of my grandfather working on the first computers for the US Navy and watching my dad build robots in the garage. Likewise, my brother and I followed suit early on and were programming in Basic before we started grade-school.Later on, I studied Anthropology, which took me around the world to West Africa and India. When I came back, I worked for a grassroots organization and lobbied for progressive environmental legislation. These experiences, combined with my upbringing, help bring perspective to the complex challenges where technology and people intersect.I currently lead the technology strategy for Fort Capital, an investment company whose focus lies within commercial real estate and private equity.
