As the founder of Motavo Venture Group, I have assisted a number of companies across a variety of industries to raise capital, complete mergers and acquisitions, create strategic plans, and develop competitive products and services. Finalist for the prestigious Ernst and Young 2005 Entrepreneur of the Year.I build companies from a concept to an operating entity, then build that entity into a valuable asset. Often this asset is sold or merged into a larger company to create liquidity for my shareholders.I now apply my business experience and skills to creating community benefit through charitable endeavors, especially in the world of children's health initiatives and disability. Along with my wife, as co-founders of Kids Mobility Network, we have created an organization that optimizes safety, mobility and independence for children with disabilities. We have recently expanded our programs at Kids Mobility Network to provide adaptive and therapeutic recreation equipment to children and adults with disabilities.
