Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.” ~Zig ZigglerAt my core, I am an ultra-curious, hyper-competitive individual with a love for the big challenges and bigger adventures. An engineer by training, I’ve had a lifelong love for problem solving that manifests in a passion for finance and business building. I have been blessed to work alongside some of the most brilliant and ambitious entrepreneurs and investors, and continue to be inspired by and learn from many of these individuals every day. Throughout my career, I’ve invested in and built early-stage businesses and projects across technology, real estate, and natural resources on a global basis. Currently, I work hand in hand with successful entrepreneurs and their families to navigate the complexities related multi-generational wealth.In classic LA fashion, I’m a transplant. I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and still miss the direct, authentic, and unapologetic style of people across the Northeast (but not the weather). That said, one of the best decisions of my life was cross-country to Santa Barbara to study Chemical Engineering at UCSB, while competing as a Division I golfer. After four glorious years, I again chose adventure, heading across the world to live and work in Seoul, S. Korea for more than a year. Beyond business, I am married to an amazing woman, and together we have three adorable, curious children. I am also a competitive golfer and a relapsed Crossfit athlete.
